~Lucy's Pov~ 

 "NATSU STAND DOWN!" I shouted rushing through the army to see my brothers, an unknown male, Erza, Mira and Gray standing there all looking at me in shock. Natsu gave out an annoyed 'tisk' walking over to me. "You should be resting" he spoke crossing his arms as I smiled at him informing him that I was fine. He sighed looking toward the group who showed up. "Lucy" Sting and Laxus spoke as I ran at the two of them hugging them both. My eyes watering while doing so. 

I felt them both hug back. We soon pulled away as Laxus was the first to ask if I really joined the rebels. I knew soon as I got Natsu's Personal Demon mark it meant I would be also joining the rebels. I nodded as Sting was shouting that I could have joined Fairy Tail or Sabertooth with just asking thanks to him and Laxus being so powerful in those groups. "I-I have other reasons on why I joined the rebels" I soon spoke with a fake laugh at the end. I didn't want to tell them about The Great Power that was inside of me.

It would have just gotten them killed or hurt. I didn't want to be the cause of their pain or weakness. "Those reasons being?" Laxus asked crossing his arms as Mira soon grabbed my right arm showing the mark as both my brothers looked pissed off beyond anything. Natsu soon stepped in pushing Mira away from me with his own arms crossed. "Two idiots upset because I can protect her better?" Natsu soon asked smirking getting some of the members of our army around us to smirk and laugh. 

"Natsu" I snapped crossing my arms as he rolled his eyes backing down as sadly that just showed who my Personal Demon was. Sting and Laxus had their weapons in their hands both glaring toward Natsu. I moved forward crossing my arms. Both boys telling me to move. Natsu I knew would have a smirk on his face. He would have wanted to fight them. "All three of us are older now. Us three also know something bigger is going on" I soon spoke as they froze slightly. Erza moved next to Laxus saying he needed to hear me out fully.

The unknown male went next to Sting saying the same. Gray closed his eyes putting his hands in his pocket. "You know Lucy could be the bridge between Hunters and the Rebels" Mira soon spoke as Sting and Laxus replied fast with a loud 'no' as I kept my arms crossed annoyed. That was when I felt Natsu's breath in my ear. "I can shut them up, just give me the order" he whispered as the people from the rebel side smirked also. Me ordering Natsu around meant I was basically the new second in command. 

I felt my face warm up slightly feeling his breath. "Natsu you are not hurting my brothers" I snapped as he moved back crossing his arms. Gray moved to stand in front of me. There was worry in his eyes. "Gray, can we talk later?" I soon asked smiling as he was in shock but soon nodding and then asked if I was sure that 'E.N.D' was able to truly keep me safe. Along with the fact he wouldn't do anything to me. This made Natsu growl. "I know he won't. Many here have Personal Demons also, I am learning a lot at once too" I laughed smiling at him.

My hands going behind me as I leaned forward a bit. Gray only smiled nodding turning his head telling Laxus and Sting to trust me more. Along with annoying them slightly with the 'call yourself brothers' part at the start. Natsu ordered the others to return inside to rest as they were slowly leaving. All but Gajeel who walked over standing next to Natsu. "I would have to talk to the boss about the whole joining Hunters part" Natsu soon spoke as the Hunters in front of us, all were in shock looking at him.

"You're not in charge?" Erza asked fast as Natsu only shook his head. Gajeel gave out a weird laugh while crossing his arms. "Our boss is a lot more powerful than me" Natsu soon informed them as the group of Hunters in front of me looked slightly pale. I was confused. "To everyone outside the rebels they believe this idiot is the leader and the most powerful" Gajeel soon explained to me as I nodded with an 'o' shaped mouth. I then remembered Gray saying he was trying to find E.N.D for that reason.

I needed to work on my memory. "Come back in a week and you will have your answer" Natsu soon spoke as Laxus moved in front of me. He was looking right at me as all I saw was fear and worry in his eyes. "I will be fine big brother" I spoke as Laxus didn't want to leave me here alone. I saw Sting was glaring at Natsu threatening him to keep me safe. The unknown with him, trying to hold him back from starting a fight. I remembered being the one to do that when Laxus and Sting disagreed on something.

"If needs be I will stay with her" Gray spoke sounding bored out his mind. Natsu was disagreeing already as Laxus sighed. "Here is the choice E.N.D, Gray stays with Lucy or we are taking her" Laxus soon spoke harshly as I ended up sighing. Natsu's eyes had a hint of red growing in them. It wasn't wise to threaten him. I learnt that pretty fast. "Fine the idiot can stay" Natsu muttered as Gajeel was in shock this time. Laxus and Sting both gave me a hug before leaving, being made to give a check in to their bosses.

Erza, the unknown male and Mira went with them. "So who was the guy?" I asked looking at Gray. "Rogue, one of Sting's teammates" Gray answered as I nodded. Gajeel soon sighed saying that Gildarts wasn't going to like this. Natsu rolled his eyes walking over to me and grabbed my wrist before dragging me inside.
