Natsu: "Fire dragon iron fist!"

I shout as my flames grow wider and wilder then before around my fist. Jolting up I aim for his jaw with all my strength, not planning on holding back. Just as I wanted I punch him exactly where I targeted and allow my flames to burn his face. Landing on my feet I smirk while looking upwards. To my surprise he also had a smirk on his lips.

Natsu: "What's wrong with this guy?"

I asked myself while glaring at him. He then begins to laugh in a wicked tone. I have a bad feeling about him... I thought as I waited to see what his next move was. He then spoke up.

Xavier: "A dragon slayer, I see? This day has just turned more interesting."

His voice says with evil signaling through out the area. I cloak of pitch black gas like substance covers our us and our surroundings. Standing my ground I try to focus where he's at but his figure is now slowly fading. Suddenly as the fog got closer to me I felt it sting my skin.

Natsu:  "Ow! What the heck is this?!"

I yelled as I flinched a bit. Giving my nose the task to sniff out if it's anything familiar I then know its poison. Right when I was about to jump back and avoid any farther contact with it, the poisoness mist attacks my eyes. I take a few steps back as I place my hands over them, groaning in pain.

Natsu: "Erza! Get out of here with the others!"

I yell out to Erza could here me. I couldn't allow them to get hurt. I won't let my comrades suffer because of him.

Erza: "Are you giving me orders!?"

I manage to hear her say but don't care if she didn't like being ordered around. I was going to protect them no matter what.

Natsu: "I said leave! Now!"

I yell in a serious tone as my hands began to sting because of the poison. I couldn't see but I was sure they were leaving as fast as they could. After a few seconds I clench my jaw, feeling the pain but wasn't going to let it get the best of me.

Natsu: "Fire Dragon....ROAR!"

I yell as a cannon of flames shoot out of my mouth, aiming forward. I stand my ground firmly as I hoped the flames would destroy the fog of poison. Still not able to see I wipe my mouth once I finished and take a deep breath. My body was too affected by the poison, I felt weak. Falling on my knees I hear that man's voice.

Xavier: "You have made my fog of darkness evaporate, not bad. We will meet again."

I hear him say as my body collapses on the ground. I then hear another familiar voice which makes my me calm down.

Happy: "Natsu!"

Natsu: "Oi..Happy..."

Happy: "N-Natsu can you hear me? How do you feel???"

I hear him say as I feel drops of water land on my skin. For a second I almost thought it was rain but then heard him sniffle. Now knowing he was crying I decided to lighten up the mood a bit so he'd know I was alright.

Natsu: "Hungry.."

Happy:  "Don't scare me like that! Let's go to Wendy!"

I feel him grab onto my jacket and lift me up. With those last words I then fell unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy's P.O.V.

Lucy: "Milliana!"

I yell as I see a bleeding Milliana bringing carried by Erza and Kagura. Running towards them I help them set her down softly under a tree and Wendy begins to use to healing magic on her wounded area.

Wendy: "You'll be okay, don't worry."

Carla: "It's a minor injury, nothing fatal. Wendy will be able to help her without using too much magic. "

Carla states while standing next to Wendy and observing Milliana's injury. Yukino rushes torwards Kagura and Erza with some water. They take it and thank her.

Yukino: "What happened?"

Erza:  "We found our target..."

Kagura:  "He's the one that hurt Milliana. We were almost going to battle him but..."

Lucy: "But what?"

Suddenly the ground starts to shake and smoke could be seen from the sky. I knew it could be none other then Natsu.

Lucy: "Natsu!"

I yell worried while running in the direction where the smoke is coming. Out of nowhere I feel something warm grab onto my right wrist, pulling me back. Turning my gaze to see who it was I noticed it was Erza.

Erza:  "You can't go back there."

Lucy: "But what about Natsu!?"

Erza: "It's Natsu, he'll be right. If you go now you'll be poisoned and will cause him to lose focus."

Lucy: "..."

I stay silent. My eyes widen as I hear the 'poisoned' part. I didn't want Natsu to lose, I didn't want to be a burden. I tear rolled down my cheek as I look down. I once told him I believed in him...I still do... I thought to myself while wiping my tear away and look up at Erza with a slight smile.

Lucy: "You're right."

I say with causes her to let go of my wrist. She then nods while smiling back and turns around, walking towards the camp. Sighing I walk back as well, still feeling a little uneasy. I believe in him but that doesn't mean I can't be worried about him. I notice Milliana wrapped up in a blanket, sleeping.

Lucy: "Is she feeling any better?"

Wendy: "Yup! I healed her wound and now she's taking a little nap."

Kagura:  "Thank you Wendy."

Wendy: "No need for thank yous Kagura-san she's a friend in pain. I couldn't just do nothing."

Kagura smiles at Wendy and ruffles get hair. In return Wendy hugs her tightly. I sit down waiting for Natsu's return. Hearing some leaves rustling I turn my head to where the noise is coming, hoping its Natsu but instead it was Gray and Juvia.

Gray: "What's up with all that smoke?"

Juvia:  "Juvia believes it has something to do with Natsu."

Gray: "He better not burn down the whole forest or I'll beat the-..."

He starts to say but notices me worried. Gray then walked over to Erza and asked what happened. After everything being explained to him he decided to do the same thing I wanted to do but like before Erza stopped it. We all them began to wait.

Gray: "He better not get himself killed...I won't have anyone to fight with if he's gone."

Yukino: "Don't you think you should be a bit more positive?"

Gray: "I'm being honest."

Juvia: "Gray-sama can fight with Juvia if it makes him happy. Juvia is more then happy to do anything to satisfy gray-sama's needs."

Gray:  "No thanks."

Juvia frowns at Gray's rejection to her offer. I sigh while waiting for Natsu, wondering how he's doing and if he's still mad at me.

Carla:  "I believe I see something in the distance."

Carla says as she points upwards at the sky with her paw. In response I jump up from where I was sitting and look at an unconscious Natsu being carried by Happy. Once he was carefully set down on the ground I run towards him.

Lucy: "Natsu!"

I yelled as I fell onto my knees by his side and looked at him. His body was covered in burned marks and reddish bubbles. He looked like he was in so much pain. Everyone was now gathered around him. My tears fell uncontrollably.

Lucy: "Someone get some water to relieve a bit the pain! Gray get my med kit to clean his open injuries! Wendy help heal him!"

I raised my voice as I sat beside him. Juvia gently sprayed some water on his body to relive his pain and gray brought me the med kit. I began to clean his open wounds while Wendy used her magic to heal his eyes which looked really irritated. When I finished cleaning his wounds Wendy began healing them as well.

-50 minutes later-

Natsu was now all patched up and Wendy managed to heal him but he was still unconscious. His now bandaged body was covered by my blanket and his head rested peacefully in my lap. I stroked his hair with a small smile on my lips. Relieved that he was here with everyone. Sting and Rogue were back and brought some food they hunted themselves.

Wendy: "Lucy are you sure this will wake up Natsu-san?"

Lucy: "I hope so. Happy did say he was hungry, right Happy?"

Happy: "Aye?"

Holding the roasted meat cob bob near his nose I waited to see if the smell of food would tease its way to him. Just as I suspected it worked. He began opening his eyes and looked at me. I smiled while holding his food in front of him. Noticing a hint of blush on his cheeks I blush as well and push his head off my lap.

Natsu: "Owee.."

He mumbled while sitting up. Turning to look at me I roll my eyes and hand him the cob bob. He started eating it as if he hasn't aten anything in forever.

Lucy:  "Don't forget to chew." 

Natsu: "Yeah, yeah.What happened?"

He says while looking at everyone who's looking at him with a smile, happy that he's alright.

Lucy: "You don't remember?"

Natsu:  "I don't have amnesia dummy I just don't understand why everyone's eyes are on me. Do I have something on me?"

Natsu says as he finishes eating and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. He then looks down to see if he does or doesn't have anything on me.

Natsu: "Oi! I'm a mummy!"

He says as he jumps up and starts walking like a mummy. Most of us laugh at his childishness while Erza just smile and places her hand on his shoulder.

Erza: "It's good to see you're doing well..."

Natsu: "Thanks Er-..."

Natsu starts to say but is cut off by her quick expression change. From a warm caring smile it changed into an cold evil  glare. Which sends shivers down everyone's spines.

Erza:  "..But if you ever give me orders again, I'll break every single bone in your body. Understand?"

Natsu: "..."

Natsu ferociously nods his head in response, earning himself a pat on the head by Erza.

Erza: "Thank you."

He gulps as she walks away. Only Natsu would be stupid enough to give Erza orders. I thought to myself as I face palmed. Taking a few steps forward I stop next to him. Natsu turns his gaze to me and tilts his head.

Natsu: "Hm?"

Lucy: "Natsu..."

Natsu: "Nani?"

Lucy: "Be more careful, okay?"

I say to him as I let out a sigh. What would happen if he were gone? I thought which made my heart ache. I knew it wouldn't be the same with out him. Everything would've changed.

Natsu:  "You were worried about me?"

Natsu says with a smirk playing on his lips. I feel my cheeks heat up as I stomp my right foot, ready to shoot back.

Lucy: "As if! I was thinking about how poor Happy would feel all alone!"

Gray: "Yeah, right. You were yelling orders at everyone and crying when you saw him."

I was being defensive so Natsu's big ego would be proven wrong but gray just had to ruin it. My eyes widen at his statement, knowing that this was not going to end here.

Natsu: "Is that so?"

Juvia: "Gray-sama is correct. Juvia was a witness as well, Lucy even cleaned Natsu's wounds."

Even Juvia!? I yelled in my thoughts while feeling my cheeks glow different shades of red. 

Lucy: "Shut it guys!"

Happy: "She loooovesss you~"

Happy says while rolling his tongue. It's not the first time he does that but I just couldn't take it anymore. I internally screamed in embarrassment.

Lucy: "Stupid cat I'll pluck every feather on your wings!"

I yell while running after him. Chasing the flying blue exceed, ready to get my revenge.

Happy: "Natsu help!!!"

Natsu: "Hahaha!"

Natsu laughed hard at the scene while holding his stomach. I continue chasing Happy, hopping a bit just to catch him. Happy dodges my movements and ends up hitting a tree.

Lucy: "Gotcha!"

Happy: "Ahhhhh!

I grab him and hold a firm grip on him. He attempts to wiggle his way out but can't manage to escape my grasp. I fake a evil smile causing him to gulp. Suddenly I feel someone tickle my left side, causing me to laugh uncontrollably and squirm.

Lucy: "S-Stop! Hahaha! No! Stop!"

I beg as I let go of Happy. Turning around to see who it was I notice it was Natsu. He continued to tickle me even though I released Happy.

Natsu: "Why? It's so fun!"

Lucy: "No!!! It's-... haha! Stop!"

I was interrupted by my laughter again. I was so happy to see him doing fine. Having him there, having that smile, having that funny Baka was great. I couldn't imagine him not being here with me.....and everyone else. Natsu Dragneel what is it you're making me feel? I thought to myself.
