In the dark room, Natsu was slowly opening his eyes. He sat up and looked around.

'Where am I?' He questioned himself as he looked around, not knowing this place at all.

Suddenly the past events came back to him, making him panic as he went out in bed.

"Happy, Lucy, Romeo, Frosh, Lector, Everyone!" He shouted as he looked around and also tried to get out from the room but it was lock. This made him even more tremble in fear as he sat on the ground, "W-where am I? H-how come I...!"

"Sir the boy is awake." A man's voice said. This widens Natsu's eyes, who are those people?

"I see. Good because soon enough the preparation will be completed. Keep an eye on the boy and make sure he will not do something stupid." Another voice that seems to have a high authority said.

"Yes sir."

Natsu doesn't know where the voice coming from but he knew it was near and they seem to be watching him.

'Where am I? Who are they? Where's everyone!?' He kept asking that when suddenly a flash of memory came to him.

It was an image, an image where he was inside of a certain cube filled with unknown liquid. His eyes were close and bubbles coming out from his nose.

That actually shock Natsu.

'Wha-what is that image? M-memories? A-and that person... w-was that... me!?'

Suddenly he heard a voice in his head, his own voice.

"I can't! I won't let them do as they please! I have to protect my friends! I have to protect them!"

The voice in his head was so desperate. Little by little he is again losing consciousness from the sudden bust of pain in his mind. He heard the last word before he completely lost consciousness.

"I will protect them... even if... I HAVE TO FORGET THEM!"

Arriving in the river near the Capital, Yua halted her horse there and looked around.

"Yua why did we stop here?" Cana questioned. Yua turned to her, "Because this is the actual place where I found Natsu a year ago." She again looked around.

'This is the place...' Cana looked around, realizing it was actually far from the road and no one would come here except to those who want to feel the whole forest. This made her wonder, 'If she found Natsu here... I wonder why she was here to begin with?'

Yua flip the belt of her horse, giving a sign to walk that it did. Soon enough they had met up with Gajeel, Lily and Laxus who were waiting under the tree.

This made Gajeel grin, "About time." Lily grin too while Laxus only sigh and watch them as they approach and landed down the ground.

"I heard what happened in the guild. Is everyone alright?" Laxus asked, concern to his guildmates and of course his grandfather too that he will not admit it.

Yua shrug, "See for yourself." She said as she turned behind Cana.

Laxus followed her gaze when she saw how Cana released each cards and turns out there have a large number of people than he had expected.

"We totally arrived here with no problem." Meredy said with relief. Juvia smiled and nodded, "Your right. Wasn't that great Gray-sama!" She said with a heard shape eyes to Gray which made Meredy sweat drop.

Gray only sigh and went to Yua who was now looking around. "Hey" He called, taking her attention, "You're going on your own right?" Yua nodded as an answer. He narrowed his eyes, "Take me with you."

Now that surprise Yua, seeing her eyes widen all of the sudden.

"I am too." The other person said which they both turn to the group who was coming to them and they were Erza, Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Happy, Sting, Rogue, Yukino, Lector and Frosh.

"We're coming too" Frosh said which made Lector grin.

Yua blink her eyes before tilting her head, "Why? Don't you guys have your own plan?"

"W-we do but we came to an agreement that you might needed help so we would like to come with you too Yua-san." Wendy said.

"Beside you want to save Natsu right? So please let us come with you, we want to save Natsu no matter what!" Happy said in great determination tone. Lucy followed, "We might be asking too much to you but... please let us!" She bowed to her.

Yua mentally sweat drop on that.

Yukino stepped forward and do the same as Lucy, "Please let us."

Everyone soon followed. Everyone right now were staring at them, mostly how she will respond to them. Mavis was also watching too with a smile.

'How did it end up like this?' She questioned herself before sighing. "Fine you may come with me."

They looked up to her with a smile. Yua smiled back, "Just be sure can catch up with me or it won't be my fault if you all got lost."

"We will Yua-san!" Sting said in great smile, happy that they can actually tag along with her. Same for Rogue.

Mavis smiled to her decision on making them come with her. She turned to the current guild Master.

"It's time to execute the plan." Mavis said. Makarov nodded before turning to everyone and nodded, giving a silent word that they shall now begin which everyone nodded back as an answer.

Inside on the certain room, it seems their preparation was now complete. They are now currently leading Natsu on the bed and now he is desperately struggling in their hold and shouting to let him go.

"N-no! Let me go, LET ME GO!"

The person who was holding him in the right twitch, "He has too much energy for some kid with amnesia." The person on the left snorted, "Come on and let just put him there." The man on the right sigh, "Yeah right."

They pushed Natsu on the bed and immediately tied him up.

The head scientist was snickering, "Do not worry Natsu Dragneel, you will have a different procedure than the rest of all people we had experimented so far. Ernest-dono would be happy if this succeeds."

Natsu felt more terrified, 'No... I... I don't want this... someone... anyone... Help me!'

Suddenly they heard a loud explosion.

"What was that!?" The head scientist shouted.

Someone came in who was sweating and seems in panic, "T-there is t-trouble. A large g-group of Magician suddenly found our base and they are now attacking us in full force!"

Now that shock the head scientist, "W-what did you just say!"

In the main office, Ernest narrowed his eyes.

"What did you say? Fairy Tail and Sabertooth?" Ernest asked in threatening tone. The Viscount who was Alain nodded, "Y-yes. I don't know how they recovered so easily but they are attacking us in full force. All our soldiers are now out to fight them. Will I also send our special reinforcement?"

"No we will not do such thing." Ernest said which surprise him.

"W-why?" Alain asked.

"If what's happening right now is that woman's strategy, then there will be another force that will sneak in our base. For that reason those people are the people that must be eliminate the most. Those scumbags are only diversion for us to focus on." Ernest gave a sharp look, "Find where they will create their entrance and be sure to never let them advance as soon as possible."

"Y-yes sir!" With that, he left.

Ernest made a thought for a moment before smirking, 'For some reason, it seems I can see what you are planning to do next woman. Its either you join to our side or be eliminated. Which one would it be?'

He began to chuckle.

Somewhere outside, both Sting and Rogue punched the wall at the same time to create an entrance for them which it worked.

Yua went in first to look around and to see it was safe. Seeing it is, she glance to them, telling it's clear. Everyone went in.

"This place seems to be a large one than expected." Gray said as he looked around. Yukino followed, "No one is around too. Do you think the plan on making everyone fight in the front line was a good idea for diversion?"

"Could be but I would say that won't be the case." Yua said as she looked cautious to the path she had chosen to take. Everyone turned to her. Happy was the one who asked, "Why is that?"

Yua gave a sigh before turning to them, "For me this is an old tactics already. If I am your enemy I would already expect this kind of assault so what I will do is just send a large number of army to them while I will use my top men to fight against those who will sneak in which is like us at this moment."

Yua began to run which they followed from behind.

"Now that I think about it... that would be true." Lucy said as she run. Gray can't help but grin, "So that would mean we will get a chance to fight strong enemies huh."

"Yes and I believe it would be 80% chance of that." Yua added. Lector was bit surprise, "That large!?"

Frosh's eyes widen, "This is bad. We can't rescue Natsu if it's like that."

"For us that is." Yua said. Erza narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean by that?"

Yua looked back and smirk, "You guys were trying to do the same thing right? The group who were Laxus, Levy, Minerva, Freed, Cobra and Jellal. Why do you think I ask them to enter to the hole Natsu might had made before to his escape than create their own entrance like we did? Why do you think we didn't go there but instead we made our own and in far direction? Do you guys have any idea?"

They all think about it.

Rogue seems to found the answer, "Are you saying... you wanted the enemy to take their attention to us instead them?"

Yua smirked wider, "When I first met that guy, I knew for some point he is same as me and I knew he felt the same way as me. For that reason I don't want to create a plan with you at the same time make me join as well. I intent to take their attention to me on my own but you guys came with me. Did you regret your decision?"

"What are you saying Yua-san?" Sting can't help but grin, "Our situation right now is the greatest one. Not only I could give my own payback but we can also compete who will be able to get Natsu-san first!"

"E-eh! W-we're competing with Jellal and the others!?" Wendy asked in surprise. Carla sigh, "It was just a matter of expression Wendy."

Yua stopped running and so were them. Yua took a step away before turning back to them, "This place might be good. Wendy Marvel can you use your range magic on me?"

Wendy was surprise, "E-eh!?" Yua smiled, "Don't worry, I just need the powerful air from you to accomplish something. No need to worry about harming me."

"B-but..." Wendy wasn't sure at all. Erza went to her and gave an assuring smile, "Just do as she say Wendy."

Wendy looked to Erza for a moment before turning determine, "Okay."

Wendy took a deep breath before concentrating her magic. Everyone went on the side for them not to get hurt.

Wendy concentrates her wind around her before releasing it, "Sky Dragon's Roar!"

It was heading to Yua. She only smirk as she raised her right hand and when her hand and the Sky Dragon's Roar made a contact, the wind suddenly vanishing as its creating a heat atmosphere around her that soon to spread around the area.

Happy was sweating, "Wha-what just happened? Why did it turn hot all of the sudden?" Carla who was sweating asked, "Is it because of her?"

Gathering the amount of heat atmosphere, Yua smirked as she gathered the heat atmosphere around her hand.

"Could that be-" Lucy was unable to finish when Yua released it, "Heat Wave!"

She gave a shot on the floor which actually surprised them. Soon enough it stopped and everyone turn to what she had done. Yua on the other hand waited for the result.

"Wha-what did she just do?" Gray asked, surprise about what just happened.

"I heard this from Mira... her magic." Erza said with narrowed eyes. Rogue followed, "I never really thought it would be that powerful... a rare and lost magic, Hydrologic Magic."

Now that shocked everyone.

"H-Hydrologic Magic? As in the water cycle itself!?" Lucy shouted it out, really shock about her possessed magic. Yua could only sigh, not taking a glimpse of them, "There's no need to be that shock, no big deal."

"WHAT'S 'No big deal' WITH THAT!?" Everyone shouted.

Yua only sigh, "Still... looks like the structure here will be good for battle than I thought it would be."

That made them question. Before they could ask, they saw the result what she had done that widen their eyes. The floor is destroyed but only this floor. The second below only created a crack. It was already a powerful black of magic but only created THAT damage!

"You should all expect this already, after all this is the enemy's base where they execute their brainwashing on not only normal people but magicians too." Yua said as she glanced to them before turning back on the damage she had done, "I was only able to create this damage... I don't even know anything about this place, no blueprint to know where they had kept Natsu and even the place they are making their experiment. This situation seems to be not in our favor."

"B-but you know Yua-san, the thing you did just now will only make the enemies know where we are right?" Sting said, sweating a bit. Yua could only chuckle before turning to them with a smirk, "Would that be a great bonus right? After all, I did say there is an 80% chance of them coming to us."

It seems they got the evil plan she was planning that they can't help but comply to it, well except Wendy, Carla, Happy and Lucy.

"E-ehhhhh!" Lucy can't help but yelp at all. Wendy followed, "Y-you got to be kidding me!"

Carla seems against the idea, "You got to be kidding me! We did all we can so they won't find us sneaking here but then you-"

"I have two aims in this moment. One is to get to the deepest part of this base to find Natsu and second is to lure the enemies to me. Ones the enemies come let me handle them while all of you go deeper as much as possible to find Natsu. If they are going to use that experiment to make him one of them, the deeper part is the logical place I could think of to make everything safe."

Yua jumped down to the hole she had created and everyone followed. They all run. Yua spoke ones again, "For that reason we can't make things go quietly. They already knew we were here due to the great explosion we had made from the outside, it would delay them for only a minute. We don't have time left."

"Do you have any plan how to find Natsu-san when we don't have a slight idea where he is?" Lector asked. Yua answered, "I only have one and that is to bet that the Dragon Slayer's sharp senses could find him."

Now that surprise Sting, Rogue and Wendy.

"Us?" Sting asked. Yua nodded, "That is why for me, out of all of us, the three of you are the most necessary to move forward."

"I will agree to that." Erza said before glancing to blue exceed, "Happy I want you to assist them until you can find Natsu."

Happy gave a loud answer, "AYE SIR!"

"Found them" They felt a coming attack which was a great amount of Icicle. Yua used her magic to evaporate all of them that created a cold wind of mist. Yua smirked, "Looks like we found one."

Slowly they saw who had attacked them which they all recognize except Yua, it was Gelo the Ice God Slayer.

"Tha-that guys is... tch" Gray was now glaring and so were the rest. Yua can already guess they had met the guy before, "You all go, and I'll keep this guy company."

"No" Gray stepped forward and gave a fighting stance, "You all go while I fight that bastard."

"Gray" Lucy called. Erza narrowed her eyes, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah and beside we have a score to settle." Gray said before glancing back to them, "He may be a Ice God Slayer but I'm a Ice Devil Slayer, I can beat him if I take things even more seriously."

Yua studied him for a moment before sighing, "Let's go."

Gray smirked before turning to the enemy, "Be sure to hurry."

"Gray we're leaving him to you." Erza said as everyone run to the different direction.

Gelo narrowed his eyes, "Do you really think you can defeat me all by yourself? You can't even do anything from the last time we had fought."

Gray smirked wider, "That was because I don't want to damage the guild I called home, but you people destroyed it. Now we're in different place and mostly your own home." Cold temperature was increasing around Gray and he seems smirking evilly this time, "Now I don't mind creating a strong havoc at all."

Gelo was bit surprise to his sudden change before smirking, accepting his challenge. "Don't blame me when I kill you."

"Same here for me." Gray replied.

For a second, they made a strong clash of magic which froze things around them.

In the place where the group was, they felt the chilliness around them.

"C-cold" Frosh said as he hugged himself. He was now being carried by Rogue. The Shadow Dragon Slayer glance back, "But I must say, Gray must have over done in the very beginning."

Sting can't help but chuckle, "Well this is the enemies base, it would be natural right Rogue?"

Rogue could only sigh.

"Will Gray-san be alright on his own?" Yukino asked, seems worried. Erza gave an assuring smile, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." Yukino smiled to the assurance, "If you say so Erza-san."

They saw the stair ahead. Yua jump on the sides to have a quick down and looked around.

"Sense anything?" She asked the Dragon Slayer.

The Dragon Slayer sniffs around the place before shaking their head. Wendy was the one who spoke, "We don't smell him."

"Should we spread around the floor?" Sting asked. Yua made a thought for a moment before speaking, "It would be more convenient if we could just smash around the place but seeing the walls and floor were made up to utilize magic..." She turn to them, "What do you suggest?"

"How about keep going down. I don't think this is the deeper part yet and you did say there is a high chance Natsu would be there right?" Lucy said which made her smirk, "Then let's go."

I do not own Fairy Tail
