~Lucy's POV

I stared terrified at his appearance. I never saw him like this. Mostly because I avoided summoning him on Sunday, but still.

He had the stupid smirk on his face whole looking down at us. Wendy, Erza and I slowly stood up. "Natsu?! What happened?" I asked, scared to be honest.

"Are you that stupid?" he began, insulting me like he doesn't care, at all. "I was burning this whole village till you guys came," he spat out, like he was disgusted by us.

I saw the other man who Erza was fighting against appearing next to Natsu. I turned my glare to him, "You did this! You stole my key! You stole Natsu and controls him, while he has to obey unwillingly!"

He clapped slowly, as if mocking me. "And now what? You can't beat him."

It was not Wendy's turn to speak. "But she can beat your ugly face!"

That was all it took for him to drop his smug look. He stared at me from toe to head, "She? The girl who has big boobs and a big ass?"

My face slowly turned red from embarrasment but mostly from anger. His sentence was all it took for me to ran to him.

I had my whip in my hand and went to attack him. I swung the whip to him, putting some magic in it so it glowed blue and yellow.

I heard a noise and smoke surrounded us. When it cleared I saw him looking fine. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, grinning condescendingly.

Natsu was blocking my attack.

He had a hand around the end of my whip. He was smirking too.

In less than 5 seconds he swung the whip hardly, and because my grip on the whip was strong, I swung along with it.

And he purposely swung against the wall. I ended up crashing in the wall too, and it immediately broke down.

I saw Wendy and Erza running up to me. "Are you okay?" Erza asked.

I coughed a bit. Man, that hurts. I slowly stood up but I already struggled. "Natsu-san! Break through it!" Wendy screamed out loud.

Natsu stood behind the same man, all silent and not moving. I clenched my hands. He was hypnotized.

The man laughed evilly. "As if he can. It was so easy to control him."

With the end of his sentence he turned to me, grinning even wider. "All because I tricked him with using you he lost focus."

I felt tears in my eyes. Natsu is my friend and I can't do anything to save him. "By three," Erza suddenly whispered.

We looked surprised at her, but soon understood the importance of this situation. We nodded. We have to fight. That is our only chance to win.

"One."

We prepared ourselves and it looks like the enemy was getting ready too. He whispered something in Natsu's ear, he nodded distantly.

"Two!" Erza began to scream. I know she knows that I was distracted. I saw Natsu smirking at me, not at Erza and Wendy but at me.

"Three!"

We all began running towards her. I saw Erza requiping, and Wendy transforming into her Dragon Force. I summoned Loke to help me.

Natsu walked back, making me confused. It looked like he wasn't going to be part of this fight. I didn't miss his smirk however, making me narrow my eyes.

We began to attack the man, he was dodging our attacks without doing a counter attack. I looked around, my grip on the whip tightening when I saw Natsu was missing.

I saw Erza giving me a look that I can go. So I ran and I ran.

I went a couple blocks further, without seeing Natsu. I was still running until I stopped immediately when I heard his voice.

"I'm here."

I turned around and stared at Natsu. Without a warning he began attacking me. He kicked my in the stomach, making me stumble back.

He gave me a look. "C'mon, show me what me ex-summoner got. Celestial wizards are weak, just like you." My eyes widened when he said those mean things. That man is so going to get it. He was provoking me.

The ex part kinda hurt, but it wasn't a smart idea to be saddened by something he didn't mean.

He soon roared at me. He had the same magic as Wendy, surprisingly. Dragon Slayer magic.

My vision was clouded with fire when it came to me. It was big and hot. And above all, fast. I tried to block it with my hands.

I felt nothing, so I opened my eyes. I widened my eyes. I was being protected with a water barrier. I felt my Aquarius key shaking, from anger.

A shock went through myself.

What's up with you?! Fight back! He is disgracing you! Are you really letting him get away with it?!

That was Aquarius voice in my head. I can't believe it, she can communicatie with me through mind-link. But I know I can't do it yet.

Loke soon came by my side, breathing heavily. "I came to help you," he said.

I stared at Natsu and sighed, I won't have a choice. I picked my whip and Loke and I began making our way to him.

I also summoned Taurus, and transformed into my Taurus Star Dress.

"Regulus Impact!"
"Earth Wave!"

Natsu did a back flip and avoided getting hit. But what he didn't know - at least I thought - was that Taurus was behing him.

He swung his axe at him. Natsu was hit and flew metres back. But he still landed on his feet. He wiped the dust of his shoulders while having that smug look on his face.

Loke and Taurus came next to me and I glared at him. In less than a second he punched Taurus away from me and stood next to me. His mouth close to my ear while I was in a trance. "Not bad, but no where near good enough."

With that he swung my arms behind my back with his one hand. He held my to his body. I let my whip fall and groaned at the uncomfortable position.

"Lucy!!" Loke screamed and ran to me. Loke yelled in frustration attacked Natsu. But all he did was moving me in front of him, using me as a human shield.

So I was attacked instead if him. And let me tell you this, it hurt. Loke eyes widened, "Lucy! I'm sorry," he said.

Natsu still had my arms behind my back, with his other hand he had it around my waist. Taurus came from behind, but he saw the attack again. "Fire Dragon's Claw," he said and kicked him with his ignited foot.

Taurus was sent back to the celestial world with one hit. No wonder he was draining. This Natsu is a beast. Strong enough to send a zodiac spirit back with one hit.

I was still struggling to break free, but it didn't work. Soon he did his hand around my neck, clenching it.

My breath was caught in my throat, and I found myself stopping with struggling. I saw black dots appearing, but before I fainted he threw my to Loke. In a hard swing. Loke caught me, but not effortlessly, he fell back trying to catch me.

I coughed up roughly, trying to get as much air as I needed. "Pathetic," he spat out and clenched his teeth in disgust. My chest rose heavily.

"Natsu!! Though I hate you - still - you need to fight this. You won't want to hurt Lucy, do you?"

I was on the ground, but I saw his eyes tutrning slowly onyx, but then purple again. "Shut up, good for nothing spirit." And then he was again in front of me. He punched me in the stomach, hard.

Loke stood immediately up and began fighting with him. Both hand-to-hand combat and magic.

Suddenly Loke was on the ground, while Natsu was yanking my hair. "Arghh." It was a mistake trying to find him. I don't stand a chance. "N-Natsu... F-fight against...it," I managed to say.

He didn't say anything but punched Loke. His gate closed and I felt myself being pulled again. I was tired, and have a lack of magic energy right now. Natsu pulled my hair and made me look at him. "Never met anyone as idiotic as you."

I know he was under control of that man, I know that. But every time he says something bad it hurts, everytime. I glared at Natsu. Who isn't Natsu by heart and mind right now. "Look in the mirror, idiot."

He smirk fell and he threw me towards a house. The stones crashed and so did I. I couldn't hold my eyes open. After summoning three spirits in less than 2 hours, I'm tired. Plus all the things Natsu did to me. I felt my spirits worrying about me, and the bad part is they can't do something about it.

Sure they can summon themselves, but they still don't stand a chance.

I knew I was about to lose my conscious. I was lying on the ground, my head was looking at Natsu, who was walking slowly to me. I felt some stones falling on my legs, doing more damaged.

I felt myself being lifted up, in Natsu's arms. Before I fainted I heard Natsu saying some words.

"Mission complete."

~Erza's POV

Wendy and I were catching our breath, the man did too. Nobody had the upperhand. We all had some scratches.

"What are you after?" I demanded finally. I should have asked that earlier, oh well.

"Something that you guys have," he spoke and shot to us lasers. I blocked them with me sword and Wendy dodged it. Wendy and I advanced to him, but we stopped when we saw him.

Our eyes widened at the sight. Natsu was back again and he had Lucy in his arms. She looked beaten up and she had some serious wounds. She was unconscious. I saw a handprint on Lucy's neck.

That bastard! He choked her, or at least was trying to. Hypnotized Natsu was smirking. "Boss, I got her. All completely according your plan."

My eyes widened more, this was all part of his plan? Why does he want Lucy in the beginning. I never should have let her go after Natsu. I clenched my hand tighter around my sword.

I can't let them take her! Lucy is family, and we do everything to get us together.

Wendy joined me. But they already knew we were coming to them. Natsu punched the ground with his ignited fist, smoke appearing in front of us.

The smoke was blocking out sight, but nevertheless, we sprinted in their direction. I swung my sword, hoping to hit the man who was behind everything but felt nothing. When the smoke cleared they were gone. Lucy with them.

Wendy and I fell to our knees, I let me sword fall.

"LUCYYYY-SANNN!!!"

Wendy was in tears, I was too, but I only did not show it. I walked to her and hugged her from behind. "She's gone." Wendy whispered. Not gone from dead, but gone from the enemy has her. Who knows what they are going to do.

"I know," I said.

I clenched my fist. I could have prevented it! I shouldn't have let her go to Natsu! I shouldn't have...

I should have tried harder.

The longer I debated with myself, the faster I realized that no one could have prevented it. What happened, happened. No one can change that.

I punched the ground with my fist. It took Wendy by surprise, making her look up to me.

"We aren't going to be all sad about this! Lucy is with them, she is in danger! We have to rescue her!" I shouted.

Wendy nodded.

"But first, get our family members together and get the people to safety." I said and stood up.

I knew I had a murderous aura around.

Nobody can hurt one of us and get away with it.

We are going to get you back, Lucy, I promise.
