Hiro watched his sister happily chatting away with the other demon called Natsu. He shook his head sighing, turning back around grinning to himself in thought, Lucil really? I know he's not a demon yet you really are enamoured with this guy. Hiro kept walking until he reached a cave, he stopped and said.

"He's in here." Lucy stared at the cave before taking a breath. It was time, she felt her palms start to sweat and she quickly wiped it on her shirt before turning to everyone.

"Alright, let's go in" Everyone nodded at her following both Lucy and Hiro into the cave. Lucy recognized it, it was where their uncle would spend most of his time when he was not fighting, it was used for strategizing or meetings. She closed her eyes sensing what was on the other side of the door, there was only one life force. Lucy gulped and knocked on the door and soon after another voice was heard.

"Lucillia, Hiro, come in and bring your human friends." Lucy took a breath but shook her head and told herself she wouldn't be scared of him anymore. She slowly opened the door and looked in, her Uncle was sitting at the desk, twirling a pen in his hands, he smiled at her making her shiver, his gaze flickered to everyone in the room.

"Lucilla, it's great your back, now you and I know there are two ways this can go down, you get rid of your human friends and together we can rule over earthland, you can become queen and marry Prince Aki and you can do whatever pleases you, kill humans, or that girl, the blue-headed one, you can even start with her! Or, well I'm sure you know the other version." Gajeel ran  forward and tried to punch him but Seiji sighed and with a flick of his hand he went flying, Lucy gasped and turned to her Uncle and said

"You bastard, don't take your anger out on my friends, if you're going to fight someone fight me!" Natsu was already moving forward but Hiro shook his head putting his hand out, walking to stand next to Lucy.

"Hey Uncle, if you're going to be fighting anyone you leave the humans out of it, they're here because they love Lucil, and for that's enough for me, they don't deserve what you might do to them.!" Seiji slowly rose from his chair, gazing at Hiro and Lucy. 

"Hiro, you know you were meant to take over Hell, your father saw something in you but I'll be honest, I always saw nothing, you were always the disappointment," Lucy growled at him, Hiro clenching his hands.

"I don't need your approval, I know what I'm capable of and let me tell you, I'm more powerful than you realize." He quickly brought his hand up and suddenly a shadow ball shot out of nowhere and hit Seiji in the stomach, he doubled back from the impact looking up in surprise. Happy shouted.

"Good job Hiro!" suddenly a flame came out of nowhere and hit Seiji in the back, he fell forward and grimaced, Natsu quickly walked forward, his face showing distaste towards him.

"I don't care if you're related to Luce, but you can't hurt her, or our friends, I'll protect her no matter what happens." Natsu took a step forward and fire was shot from his mouth. Igneel and Metelicana were outside the cave, knowing that this wasn't their business to be a part of but they were aware immediately when magic was being used. Igneel nodded his head.

"My son is powerful" Metelicana just nodded.

"He may be but do not underestimate Gajeel."

Natsu took a step back in surprise as Seiji simply flicked his hand and his flames went away. Grimacing Gray was quick to move.

"Ice make, Lance" He threw it towards Seiji but he simply sidestepped it, as soon as he did Erza was there and threw swords at him but yet again he simply stopped with a force field. Seiji sighed.

"You don't realize how weak your magic is and yet you still try to fight me, it's pathetic." Seiji was raising his hands and Lucy saw him pointing it toward her friends, she ran forward.

"Uncle please, can't you just stop the war, it's not doing any good and it's not going to help us in any way. I will fight you myself but please don't involve them, humans never did anything to us, and they are all really amazing people!" Lucy was pleading with him but Seiji just smirked.

"I'm very sorry Lucil, but I can't accept your request." and threw a fireball at her throwing her into the wall. Natsu and Hiro ran over and helped her stand up she used them to balance and suddenly she felt her tail lift up. She felt magic pulling her upwards, picking her up from her tail. Natsu and Hiro both shouted.

"LUCE/LUCIL!" Lucy struggled with no avail Hiro glared stepping forward his hands ready to attack. 

"Don't hurt my sister!" Seiji laughed.

"What are you going to do, you're a weak, pathetic boy who doesn't understand how the world works, how anything works, you don't deserve to take over the throne!" Hiro glared and ran at him with a dagger, he swiped at him but he dodged it but he was able to nick his cheek. Seiji went to punch Hiro in the stomach but Hiro was quicker, sidestepping before throwing all sorts of magic at him, some hit some he dodged, they kept fighting, some hitting Hiro some hitting Seiji, Lucy was carefully aiming any magic away from them that came towards them. Natsu frowned at Lucy.

"Why aren't we helping him?" Lucy shook her head, her eyes wide.

"This is between my Uncle and my brother, they have always had this rivalry, right now I can tell my brother has a personal vendetta and I'm not going to be the one to get in the way of it.." Erza stood forward and carefully pulled Natsu back and shook her head, Natsu sighed and stood back.

Hiro was panting but so was his Uncle, but he wasn't going to lose, he kept attacking and attacking, and he wouldn't stop, he kept swiping and throwing magic, being hit by his own Uncle's magic, he knew he was getting weak but so was his Uncle, suddenly he heard Lucil scream.

"HIRO WATCH OUT!" Hiro turned around and saw a massive fireball heading his way, he had no time to dodge, no time to think, the fire ball hit him full on, he went flying backwards and hit the wall. Lucy watched her brother get hit, he hit a wall and fell, she ran beside him and pressed her fingers against his pule, he still had a pulse so he wasn't dead. Lucy turned around glaring at her Uncle, tears streaming down her face as he stood there, panting, his face had cuts all over it, a sadistic smile adorning his features.

"How could you do that, your own family, you aren't part of our family, you've betrayed everyone you don't deserve to be alive, you deserve to drown, drown and die and go to another place far away from here" Seiji pretended to be hurt mocking her.

"How could my own niece say that to me, oh how hurt I am" Lucy felt herself being hit, she coughed before regaining her balance. She noticed he was weak and she ran at him using her dagger and swiped at him, she then sent a telepathic message to Erza. Erza was still holding Natsu, Grey, and Gajeel back, she suddenly got Lucy's message and muttered

"Smart girl." she turned to the 3 and said.

"Listen, I need you to do something, Lucy has figured something out, remember when we were throwing attacks and he dodged Grey's ice instead of making it disappear?" they nodded not getting it yet, Erza grinned and said "Well, ice may be his weakness, out of all his spells he hasn't used an ice one yet, so Grey while Lucy is distracting him make an ice sword" finally getting it they grinned and Gajeel said

"Hey, let me be the one to kill this jerk." Natsu grinned and said

"Alright, I guess you can take the glory this once" Gajeel grinned and fist-bumped Natsu, Grey handed him the sword and nodded.

"Get ready". Lucy was still fighting her Uncle, he grinned .

"It seems you really can't kill me Lucillia Darkheart" Lucy smiled.

"We'll see about that" Seiji looked confused when suddenly Gajeel came out of nowhere holding the sword, he let out a short as he thrust it straight into Seiji's heart. Seiji halted, shaking, his eyes widened as a silent scream came out his mouth. blood spilled out of his mouth as he collapsed to the floor, he coughed and turned to see Gajeel who just kicked him.

"That was for Levy" Then he brought up his foot.

"And this is for everything else" his foot came down crushing his skull.

 Natsu, Erza and Grey cheered while the dragons smiled and went back to their own homes, silently wishing their children goodbye. Lucy ran up and hugged them.

"Thanks guys, it means a lot" they grinned and Lucy went up to Natsu and kissed him full on the lips, Natsu smiling and putting his arms around her waist. Suddenly a portal opened up and Master stood there with the guild. Everyone turned towards them and suddenly Levy came running, a smile on her face.

"Gajeel, I got better, I think it was a curse, thank you so much." Gajeel started tearing up and ran through the portal hugging Levy, she smiled and hugged him back, Erza walked through the portal with Grey, Lucy smiled turning to Natsu who let go of her waist.

"We did good didn't we!" Natsu nodded and walked through the portal turning to face her.

"We did amazing Luce, you did amazing now come on, let's go home" Lucy smiled and slowly walked forward but she noticed the master wouldn't make eye contact with her, she figured it wasn't really anything and kept walking when she was about to step through the portal a barrier stopped her throwing her back, Natsu was shocked but there was a barrier also in front of the portal not letting anyone pass back through. Lucy panicked and banged on the barrier, Natsu glared at his master and grabbed him by the collar.

"What did you do, let her back in right now." the master looked away.

"I'm sorry Natsu, this wasn't my decision, the minute she returned to hell the magic council took it upon themselves to keep her out, I know that you killed her uncle but there is still a way going on and the magic council see Lucy as dangerous" Natsu glared and growled.

"No she isn't, Lucy is absolutely fine, she's not dangerous, you did not see everything she went through for us, for earthland, the magic council doesn't know what they are talking about." Natsu was tearing up and Makarov refused to look at him, Natsu looked back at Lucy who had stopped banging as she listened to them talk and she let her hands fall to her side.

"No, Natsu, they're right, there's still business in hell, Seiji wasn't the only person to want to destroy earthland, more people will keep coming to earthland unless I do something here, I knew that was the case but I just didn't want to believe it." Natsu shook his head, banging on the barrier.

"You belong here Luce, you are part of our family, god Luce, I love you!" Lucy let a tear slip down her cheek.

"Natsu, remember that necklace I told you about, the one my Uncle destroyed which I was given to by the guy I loved" Natsu nodded, tears rolling down his cheek unable to say anything.

"That guy was you, well he wasn't but he was your past self, exactly like you, his name was Natsu, same as yours, I guess it wasn't a coincident we met, I loved him so much, no, I still love him so much, I love you." Natsu teared up and banged on the barrier.

"Luce, you can't go, I won't allow it, you can't leave me" Lucy smiled sadly.

"I love you Natsu, I always have and I always will" Natsu let out an anguished cry.
"Luce, you're getting out of there I promise" Lucy smiled and took a step back, Hiro walking over and putting his arm around Lucy.

"I love you Natsu" Natsu teared up and sobbed replying.

"I love you too Luce" She smiled happily and then looked at everyone who was standing there, tears rolling down their face.

"We will meet again someday, I promise" As she finished speaking she waved her hand and the portal closed, Natsu collapsed crying and sobbing, saying Lucy's name over and over again, Happy was wailing and everyone else was silently crying, refusing to look at the young teenage boy.
