Chapter 24
Enjoy. Thanks for 900+ votes!!
Okay, so I will only be writing about Natsu and Lucy (and Nash) because this is their story. So the action is for them. I won't be writing how the rest of the crew fought etc.
I know nothing about how it 'normally' goes and this is the first time trying to write such thing. So sorry if it is not good, I tried my best.
I think we are heading towards the end...
~Nobody's POV
"Everyone knows the plan?" Natsu asked again. Everyone nodded, again. We got it, Lucy thought, me and Natsu will search for Nash, the others will take everyone out. Gray as second back-up.
Simple, isn't it?
Is it really though?
"With the heat sensor Jellal saw there are about 30 guys inside. With the watch you got from me we can count how many we took down. Just click on it and it will count and so everyone can keep up with the count."
Everyone nodded.
"You guys ready?" Natsu asked, wanting everything to go according plan. Or at least, everything that works in their favor.
"Yes," everyone said in unison.
Natsu looked behind him at the group of people who mean so much to him. "Don't die," was all he said.
The next moment it was silent. The guys got ready and tightened their grip on the guns.
One mission: save Nash.
Natsu's mission: save Nash and kill everyone else.
The moment Natsu gave the signal they stormed inside. As expected, there were people waiting for them, all of them with weapons.
They immediately began shooting towards the group. They all got the bulletproof clothes under their normal clothes.
Natsu and Lucy jumped to the side and Laxus and Jellal shot the enemies. "Even though they are a high ranking mafia, their shooting sucks," Jellal said while grabbing a bullet out of his bulletproof vest.
"Five," Jellal said.
Without another word Natsu and Lucy ran to the 'heart' of the restaurant, if you could say it that way. They were trying to find it.
"Seven," the watch told them.
Thank God Lucy was with Natsu, his reflexes were impeccable. If an enemy appeared around the corner, then Natsu shot his head immediately.
"Eleven."
"You should teach me that," Lucy whispered while they were going through a hallway. Since when is a restaurant that big?
Natsu's eyes were trained on what's infront of him. His actions were immediate and no doubt in it. "Then you should really pay attention when I teach you, which I know you won't."
Lucy glared at his back while he walked in front of her. Fuck you, Lucy wanted to shout out loud.
It was true though. She would be distracted by something every time.
Soon they heard a really big gunshot and a battle cry. After that came a terrifying scream. Lucy and Natsu wipped their head behind them. Looking where the noise was coming from.
"W-was that... Mira?" Lucy asked with a hand covering her mouth. Lucy wanted to turn back and help whoever is in trouble, only if it is her friends of course.
She even turned her body around but Natsu stopped her by grabbing her colar. "We need to go," he spoke softly but sternly.
"No! What if she is hurt? We need to help them," Lucy panicked.
Natsu bit on his lip, already knowing she would say this. Eight years and still not used to it. "She will be okay, believe in them, our friends."
"Twelve."
Lucy breathed in and out with her eyes closed before nodding. She shot a figure coming out of a door. "Good," Natsu said. Then they went further. They reached the end of the hallways and a big door was there. No guards and the only noise they could hear was their breathing.
Natsu gestured for her to be as quiet as she could be. He counted with his fingers.
1...
2...
3...
Then he opened the door and got the gun ready.
Their eyes widened a little bit when they saw Nash there in the middle, and a man with a knife.
Natsu began shooting the man there, trying to hit him. He aimed it immediately upwards before the man could have used Nash as a shield. He had to be extra careful not to hurt Nash.
Nash's eyes were dull and he was barely awake. Lucy gritted her teeth, don't run towards Nash when you see him tied up.
Then Natsu saw a man on the ceiling, waiting for to jump down. Natsu picked his knife and threw it in one swing to him when he was not looking.
He eyed the man with Nash. He had shot his arm, making the knife fall. But he was still alive, and Natsu hated it.
He had to refill his gun with a new set of bullets. Natsu was still high on guard.
Suddenly Lucy felt a needle going in her neck. Her hands immediately felt what it was and she looked around. She saw a man hiding in the shadows.
She aimed her gun at him and tried to kill him. After a few shots her arms began to feel numb. Shit, the needle makes you numb, went through Lucy's head.
She saw another arrow with a need heading towards Natsu. With the strength she could muster she blocked the arrow from going further with her hand, preventing it from reaching Natsu.
"Natsu, man in shadows," was all Lucy could say before she fell to the ground. She couldn't move her body but she was wide awake.
Natsu swiftly turned his head to her. "Lucy!"
He looked at all the shadows in the room and saw a man there smiling wickedly. He was the one who made Lucy numb.
Natsu dodged the arrow coming towards him. "I-I'm .. sorry," Lucy managed to say with tears ready to flow.
She wasn't useful at all. All she could do is feel how her body was going numb.
"Dragneel. Don't move if you want your son to live," a voice boomed through the room.
Natsu gritted his teeth and killed the man who made Lucy numb. "Nineteen."
Lucy's eyes widened when he saw the one by Nash's side. He threw an arrow at Natsu's back. It hit his neck.
"No!" Lucy screamed from underneath. Natsu instantly removed the arrow and shot the man. "Fuck you!"
This was a different arrow. It will make the person black out.
"L..Lucy... I'm sorry," Natsu said before darkness took over.
Lucy's mouth went also numb so she couldn't scream anymore.
Soon many people came into the room, the enemy. One man was obviously the same person by the 'business' party.
They lifted Lucy and Natsu and put them in a cage. The removed their weapons or anything that could be used as a weapon. She glared at everyone who looked at her body in such a disgusting way.
Lucy had her eyes open the whole time they did this, wondering why they didn't kill them already.
The leader noticed. "So we meet again, Fairy Tail Lady," he said mockingly. "Don't look at me like that, your husband is the cause of all this."
Lucy saw a man dragging Nash towards the cell. She wanted to yell and curse, but she couldn't.
"Don't worry, sweetheart, the numbness will disappear in 15 minutes. We will go further with the torture when your hubby wakes up."
Then they left Lucy and Natsu alone. Her hands were chained with those chains where you can still move but where your reach is limited.
After 15 minutes she could finally move and talk.
She tried waking up Natsu. "Natsu," Lucy whispered. No movement. She sighed, knowing she couldn't wake him up.
"Nash! Nash! We're here," Lucy called after him. Nash was like always tied up to the chair. He looked up, no hope in his eyes, or maybe a tiny little bit. His face was bruised and a cut on his arm.
His eyes widened with tears, "M-mum?" Then he looked to the left, "D-dad?"
Then he saw that we all were tied up. "D-did this happen because you wanted to save me?"
Lucy nodded, "Yes! And we will be okay."
Natsu finally woke up after one hour. The guys immediately came in and some iron doors went down, preventing people from coming in.
"Finally awake, I see," the man said.
Natsu glared at him, "Fuck you!"
Lucy snapped my head to Natsu. Obviously not the right time to say that to him. "Our friends will get us free," Lucy told him firmly.
He laughed darkly, "I handled it."
Her eyes widened slightly, what does he mean with 'handled it?' Is that why they didn't show up in the last hour. Lucy wanted to scream at him and run to him to kill him, but then she remembered she was chained.
He slowly began walking toward Nash, who's body was trembling at the sight of this man. "How does it feel to be powerless and that you're going to watch how I beat your lovely son?" he said sweetly... sweetly..
Natsu gritted his teeth and tugged at the chains. "We were at all peace once. What happened?"
He showed his knife and swung his arms in the air, "What haven't you done, Dragneel?!" he yelled. His tone consisted of so much hatred that Lucy was getting curious.
"You killed my wife! My wife!!"
Lucy turned to Natsu with disbelief taking over her face, "You did? Weren't you the one with 'family is everything?'"
Natsu clicked his tongue. "If we're thinking like this, then everyone has a family." He turned towards the man again. "What did I do to your wife?"
"You killed her when she was pregnant," he mumbled.
"Natsu!" Lucy said with a strange emotion in her eyes. She couldn't believe Natsu would ruin the sort of family that had yet to become bigger.
"What's the reason? Who was she?" Natsu asked darkly, realization flooding over him.
"She was in the building you burned to the ground."
Natsu went through all the buildings he burned down in the past few years. He could vaguely remember a woman with an unborn child. Natsu couldn't help it that he did, she was there when he carried out a mission.
"I don't rem—"
"Of course you don't! Why would you?! But after all this time I will finally get my revenge," he said as he traced the knife on Nash's arm.
Lucy could hear his breath hitch. She looked at Natsu and his eyes were frightened.
"Don't you dare to touch him," Lucy said menacingly.
"I already did," he said while smirking wickedly.
He drew the knife into Nash's arms, slowly. Nash immediately screamed. Lucy gripped the bars and tried getting as close as possible.
You could see the anger in Natsu's eyes and the fear in Lucy's. Then immediately all traces of emotion vanished from Natsu's face.
He retreated the knife and then smacked Nash in the face. Lucy and Natsu could only watch how he tortured their son.
"Let go," Natsu demanded darkly. The only thing what showed his distress were the visible veins in his arms. Natsu wanted nothing more than to kill him.
Nash coughed when the man half choked him. Lucy fell to her knees and tears falling from her eyes.
"NASH!" she screamed loudly while hugging her own body. The man punched him in the stomach. Nash let out a silence scream, pain became unbearable for him.
"Don't you fucking dare hurt my son any further," Natsu yelled while shaking the bars, trying to rip them open, knowing that he doesn't have a chance to do so.
Soon the man grabbed a gun from his jeans. Natsu's and Lucy's eyes widened at the sight of the gun. The man held it by Nash's temple.
"I will fucking murder you," Natsu yelled at him while looking him dead in the eye. He completely ignored him.
"You unlucky kid, having to have them as your parents. Without them you wouldn't be in this situation."
Nash looked up, using his last bit of energy to glare at him. "I wouldn't even exist without them. I'm so lucky, they are the best people in the world.." his tone was lost, he had lost hope.
Lucy stood up and also shook the bars, "Nash. Nash! We love you. We're sorry."
Natsu eyed Lucy, she had also lost hope.
With his most effort he managed to smile at them with tears through his eyes. "I forgive you."
Natsu gave the bars a hard kick. Even the man was shocked a little bit. Natsu pointed at the man. "If you harm him anymore—"
"Then what, Dragneel? Can't you see I have the upperhand here? Pathetic bastard," he mumbled.
"Did you love you wife?" The question was to gain more time, more time for his friends to find him. His team was ruthless.
But the man seemed to see through his trick. "Yes, and I was devastated when she died. The same way you will be when I pull over the trigger."
His hands were ready to do so. Natsu clenched his fist.
"FUCK YOU!" he screamed on top of his lungs.
