Natsu groaned and sat up.
      What happened? He held his head as it pounded in pain. After some of the pain subsided and he was finally able to think clearly, his eyes widened. Memories filled his mind like a movie.
He and his friends fell into an abyss created by the unexpected earthquake. They were separated as they fell.
      "HEY! LUCY! GRAY! GAJEEL! JUVIA! ERZA! HAPPY! CARLA! WENDY! LEVY! PANTHERLILY! WHERE ARE YOU!" Natsu called out in vain as he ran through one of the tunnels, desperate to find his companions.

      After running for what seemed like forever, Natsu noticed someone ahead. He sped up, and found out the stranger was Lucy!
      "LUCY!" Natsu cried out as he buried Lucy in a hug.
      "Uh, hey Natsu." Lucy gasped for air. Natsu let go and chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head.
      "Come on. Let's go find the others." Natsu stood up and held out a hand.
      "Yeah." Lucy took his hand and she was pulled off the ground.

      They wandered through the tunnels, having no idea where they were heading.
      "THIS PLACE MAKES NO SENSE!" Natsu screamed. Lucy gritted her teeth.
      "Natsu, stop screaming! It won't solve anything!" Lucy hit Natsu across the side of the head.
      The fire dragonslayer stopped as soon as he was hit, but proceeded to groan in annoyance.
      Lucy sighed and shook her head. "Since aimless wondering is doing us no good, we have to take another course of action." Lucy put a hand on her chin, running through all possible options of escape in her mind.
      Natsu turned to Lucy and smiled. If anyone could figure a way out, it was her.
      "Since this is like a maze, let's leave landmarks so we know where we have already been," Lucy said and picked up a rock. She held it out to Natsu. "Can you melt this into a shape? Any shape you want."
      Natsu grinned and took the rock, before lighting it on fire. Once the fire dispersed, it revealed the shape of a dragon. Lucy smiled and pointed to a ledge by one of the tunnels. Natsu set it down and turned to Lucy. The two soon headed through one of the tunnels, hoping to find the way out.

      After walking for a few minutes, they came across a tunnel with a dragon shaped rock next to it. Natsu and Lucy looked at each other in confusion. They tried a different tunnel, then another, and another, but it was no use. They always ended up in the room with the landmark they set.
      "We'll never find our way out. We're just going in circles," Lucy whined. Natsu's brow knitted together, before perking up. He walked over to the dragon sculpture and put it in his pocket.
      "What are you doing?" Lucy asked, then was suddenly picked up by Natsu.
      "Hold on Lucy," Natsu said as he held Lucy tightly, his feet bursting into flames, and the two wizards went crashing through the ceiling.

      Outside, chaos reigned. A city was in flames, bodies littered the ground, and a man and woman, smirking, stood in the middle of it all, satisfied with all the destruction.
      The man wore all navy blue. Even his hair was that color, except for his skin. It was deathly pale, giving the illusion of death.
      Right next to him was the woman, who looked like a thirteen year old. She had pale skin, wore a black dress, and her hair was the color mint. Her left eye was mint, while her right eye was black.
      The two turned in the direction of the two Fairy Tail wizards and locked eyes with Natsu and Lucy.
      "I see they have escaped," The man stated as he crossed his arms.
      "Yes, they have, and must now be eliminated," The woman replied, then lunged for Natsu and Lucy. Natsu pulled Lucy behind him and blocked the attack.
      The woman's eyes narrowed. "Looks like this will be harder than I thought. CORPSE! GET YOU BUTT OVER HERE, AND HELP ME!" The man obeyed and sent a navy orb of magic towards the group. Lucy took out a key.
      "OPEN! GATE OF THE RAM, ARIES!" Lucy exclaimed. Aries in a burst of bright light. Then, Lucy shouted, "STAR DRESS! ARIES FORM!" Lucy's whole body closed, and in an instant, changed into different clothes that were similar to Aries.
      Lucy and Aries jumped up simultaneously and held their hands in front of them. Pink fluffy wool shot out of their hands and blocked the impending attack. Natsu smirked.
      As soon as he turned around, his eyes locked with a black ball of magic power heading straight for him. He narrowly dodged as the ball flew past him.
      Natsu's face scrunched up in annoyance as he shouted, "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!"
