No ones POV

Natsu had been in the cell for about three days but to him it felt like weeks due the endless boredom that left him unprotected from his thoughts.

Gray hadn't gone back to see Natsu, he didn't have the courage or strength to see the damage done to his ex-lover.

He was left to bask in his guilt and regret in his room, what Natsu did probably wasn't even his fault and he didn't deserve to be put in a cell for being a 'traitor' when he did nothing wrong.

Gray was selfish and because he was hurt by Natsus actions what he did to Natsu honestly hurt himself more.

More of the servants were disappearing so the castle was becoming quieter, it was strange.

The strangest thing Gray had discovered was the ice that had frozen his sheets after that nightmare, Gray still couldn't work out who the woman and child was in the dream and what relationship he had with them.

Gray was freaked out, something was going on and it wasn't good and that worried him, the ice, the people in his dream, the servants. What was going on??

Natsus POV

The cell and dungeons were as quiet as ever, well, besides when they would take a new servant down here. They would either be yelling, struggling, screaming, crying or just making an overall ruckus.

It honestly hurt my sensitive ears and the blood always burnt my nose, it's really annoying.

I don't even give my food trays back, it annoys the guards 'cause they have to come in and get them, they're scared of me, mostly because even though they hit me for leaving the trays in the far corner yet I still do it every time.

I have to find my own way to entertain myself now.

I've found a few ways, trying to break my cuffs, humming tunes Wendy used to whistle, playing with my food, scaring the guards and, of course, leaving the trays in the corner.

My cell door swung open and a group of guards walked in and I smiled up at them,

"Why hello there!" I called and they scoffed before grabbing my collar and lifting me up.

They forced me out of the cell and into the hallway where the other servants were being taken and the old anxiety began to dwell in my stomach.

We were all led down the dungeon hallways and back into the main building, as we were escorted through the building I would occasionally catch the glimpse of other servants watching through key holes or in the dark hallways.

As we neared the gates I could hear a crowd of people gathering nearby, I winced as the sun hit my eyes when the doors opened and we walked into the courtyard and towards the town.

That's when I saw it and realisation hit me...

We neared the wooden platform in the centre of the crowed an I could hear some of the servants begin to sob.

Grays POV

I was unaware why my father had taken me out to the town, apparently he had a surprise and the villagers were going to have a parade?

It seemed a little sketchy but I didn't question it so now we sat in a 'viewing building' that had a balcony that he said overlooked the parade.

I could hear the crowd gather as we sat and drank tea,

"Can't I just take a glimpse of outside now?" I asked and he shook his head,
"No. Wait until it starts." He smiled.

Suddenly a scream came from outside and someone could be heard screaming for help,

"What's going in out there?! Someone needs help!" I told my father demandingly and he sighed,
"I suppose we could start now." He said and stood up.

I followed my father as we went to the balcony, a servant pulled the curtain open and we walked out. It took my eyes a while to adapt to the light but when thy did they widened in horror.

No ones POV

Grays eyes widened in horror as he saw eleven servants lined up on their knees on a wooden platform surrounded by a crowd.

"These servants have all committed treason and betrayed the kingdom. They will all face death." King Celestial told the crowd loudly and a maid began to scream and plead for mercy.

But that's when everyone noticed it...

In the middle of the servants, the sixth one, kneeled a boy with spiky pink hair, a white checkered scratch hung around his neck, his uniform was tattered and ripped and he held a bright smile on his face.

The crowd was silent and Grays breath caught in his throat, the executioner grabbed Natsu by the hair but it didn't faze him and he continued to beam, in a slightly terrifying way, at the crowd.

"T-That's Natsu... He's a Dragon Slayer..!" A person in the crowd whispered.

Erza was stunned by Natsus choice of actions as she kneeled next to him but after a few seconds she smiled too, followed by Jellal, then Mira-Jane, then Elfman and slowly all of the servants were smiling brightly at the crowd.

"D-Dispose of them!" The king screamed and the executioner nodded before bringing his axe down towards Natsus head,

"Air Dragon Roar!" A girl yelled from the crowd and jumped into the air as a massive gush of air shot at the executioner, blowing him off the platform and smashing into a building.

The crowd screamed and began to shove away as guards rushed into the square and the king dragged Gray back into the room.

A man in a cloak jumped onto the platform and looked down at Natsu, Natsu stared back up with his smile gone and slight fear in his eyes.

The man took off his good and Natsus eyes widened, "G-Gajeel? Is that y-you?!" Natsu gasped and he smiled,
"Yeah... It's Gajeel. And for one time I'm actually glad to see you." He chuckled and Natsu slowly smiled too.

"NATSU!" A young girl screamed as she climbed onto the platform and ran towards Natsu, Natsu screamed and fell backwards so Gajeel slowly helped him back up,

"It's okay Natsu, it's just Wendy." Gajeel told him and Natsu nodded slowly.

Gajeel and Wendy had to help Natsu and the other servants while Sting fought the guards and Sting and Rouge went after the prince and king, meanwhile, the kingdom was taking heavy damage from the Fairy Fighters.

Wendy went to remove Natsus cuffs and Gajeel began to help the othe servants, Wendy gasped when she saw the cuts from the metal digging into his skin and how red it was.

She gently removed them, careful not to hurt him any more before helping him to his feet, Natsu had gone Farley skinny again and had grown slightly pale, Wendy felt horrible.

Gajeel came back with a group of four servants who said they were willing to help while the others ran away for safety and soon they began to overpower the guards while Gajeel and Wendy got their weak leader away.

Meanwhile... Things didn't look too good for Gray and the king...
