Natsu's Pov Still, 

In all honest truth, I never thought that the Princess was real. Then again there was many signs telling me Lucy was the Princess. "Loke you can't listen to my father right now, Mard Geer is controlling him" Lucy broke our silence as Loke sighed, shaking his head. Soon another man showed up to our side. Then again he didn't really look like a man.

He looked like a part cow, part human. Gray and I stood confused and shocked still as Erza was the first to snap back into reality. "Like I said before, Lucy is under our protection" Erza then snapped as I noticed Lucy now look shocked. Gray and I soon snapped into reality and pulled out our katanas. Loke pulled out his own. "Loke this is an order, stand down" Lucy soon snapped as Loke sighed. "Sorry my Princess but your father has ordered your return" Loke replied as the half man, half cow pulled an giant axe off his back.

"Taurus take the black haired ninja" Loke ordered as the half man and half cow smirked nodding. It looked kinda creepy with that rape face smirk. "Capricorn come out of hiding and deal with the red head" Loke nearly shouted as another man who was part animal showed up.

This wasn't going to be very pretty at all.

Lucy's Pov, 

Virgo was behind us, Loke in front of us, Taurus was to the right of us and Capricorn was to the left. We was trapped by a small party of the Celestail Guard. There was normally a lot more of them. The others had to of been hiding, watching even. I couldn't sense them like I normally could do though. "Virgo get Princess Lucy to the meet point" Loke then ordered as he ran, jumping over Erza, clashing swords with Natsu. Before the swords clash, Natsu pushed me away so I wouldn't get hit. "You must be punished for touching the Princess" Loke muttered coldly.

I got worried for Natsu. Loke was a great close up fighter. Capricorn ran at Erza, using his arms to block her swords. Under his sleeves of his suit was unknown metal stronger than any sword that I had known. Capricorn was also amazing in close fighting. Taurus ran at Gray clashing his axe with Gray's sword. Gray was pushed back as Taurus was known for being powerful. I felt someone grab my arms from behind, before I could even reach down to my whip. "Hime please don't make this harder than it has to be" Virgo asked.

Virgo was the one I saw before, who went behind Natsu and Gray. She and I were pretty close. "Virgo I would never risk this Country if I wasn't 100% sure, Mard Geer needs to be taken care of" I tried to explain as Virgo looked at me with a 'sorry' look. She then tried dragging me off and away. I tried getting out of her grip. No luck. Virgo could be pretty strong also but her most famous skill was turning her legs into drills and making tunnels. "LUCY" I heard Natsu shout worried as I looked to see him trying to push Loke away.

If I left this battle field Natsu, Erza and Gray would be killed. "REQUIP" Erza shouted as she glowed changing her outfit.

I stared a little shocked as Virgo started dragging me off. I snapped back into reality pretty fast, trying to struggle as much as I could. "Capricorn, block their magic" Loke nearly shouted as Capricorn nodded, he pushed his sun glasses up his nose as a aura came from him. I noticed Erza, Gray and Natsu all fall to their knees. They looked weak and in pain. Taurus stood over Gray, Capricorn over Erza and Loke over Natsu. "Loke no" I nearly shouted my eyes watering a little as Loke looked up at me.

"Loke they have protected me from evil ninjas and other threats, you cannot kill them" I then nearly shouted as Loke nodded. He looked at Capricorn and Taurus, making them stand down. Taurus putting his axe on his back while Capricorn wiped some dirt off his suit. "For keeping the Princess safe in my steed, you shall live" Loke mumbled looking away from me. After all this. After everything was my adventure at an end? "Brother we must get the Hime back to the castle before Mard Geer gets back" Virgo sounded guilty a little.

Why did she sound guilty? I got a little worried. "You can't trust The Underworld King" Erza snapped using her sword to push herself to stand. You could still sense the aura Capricorn was giving off, you could see the pain in Erza's face as she tried to stand. "Mard Geer has killed hundreds of people for power" Gray got up next using his sword. Virgo had stopped dragging me, also watching shocked. Natsu soon got up, using his sword. "I won't let Mard Geer hurt Lucy" Natsu snapped gripping his sword.

"You have no right to call the Princess by her first name" Loke snapped, the grip on his swords handle got tighter. I saw something in Loke's eyes. His brown eyes that looked blue under his glasses glowed black. He wasn't being himself. Loke soon struck at Natsu's arm making him fall backwards onto the ground bleeding. "NATSU" Gray and Erza shouted as my eyes widen. Gray and Erza rushed to his side as I knew Loke's blade. Without healing magic that cut would kill him. "Let's go" Loke walked over toward me with Capricorn and Taurus.

"No you can't let him die" I nearly shouted my eyes starting to water as Loke looked at me a little shocked. "Let me heal him, please then I will go back without trouble" I then begged as Loke sighed and nodded. Virgo let me go as I rushed over to Natsu. Erza and Gray looked at me confused. "This might sting at first" I whispered placing my hand on Natsu's cut. He hissed in pain as he flinched a little. I started whispering an chant as my hands gave off a golden glow. Erza, Gray and Natsu watched shocked as I soon healed him.

I moved my head. "I-Im so sorry" I whispered standing up. "Lucy don't go" Natsu pushed himself to stand also. "I have no choice now" I replied as Virgo walked over. "Hime time to go" Virgo sounded a little sad and guilty as she then stamped her foot on the ground making Natsu, Erza and Gray all fly backwards into a wall. Virgo grabbed my arm, dragging me off. I didn't look back... "What does Mard Geer have plan for me Virgo?" I asked as she froze up a little. "He is marrying you off Hime, to an unknown" Virgo answered.

I took a deep breath....

This was the end of my adventure with Natsu...

It was nice while it lasted...

"You won't win Mard Geer" I snapped upset as he just gave out another chuckle. He walked even closer toward me. My back was at the wall now. "I already have Princess, because we are to marry in a weeks time" Mard Geer's smirk grew as my whole body started shaking. M-me.... M-marry him? This couldn't be happening. My father would never. Then I remembered. My father was being controlled. I had to save him. I wasn't sure how but I had to. "N-no, I won't marry some dark mage like you" I nearly shouted.

I was acting brave but even Mard Geer must of saw my fear as he walked up to me. He was right in front of me as he just chuckled. "Stupid Princess, you have no choice in the matter" Mard Geer then replied and then slammed his hand on the wall next to my head. It made me jump. "You don't want the King to send Loke to kill those ninjas you met do you?" Mard Geer then asked while whispering in my eye. My eyes watered a little. H-He really was doing this. How was I the only person to find him out?
