Never Ending Love (a Nalu Fanfiction)

Chapter 16. Let's hurry, Lucy is waiting for us...

Erza looked around, even when nothing was visibly happening to them after he chanted the spell, they all felt their soul being embraced by a feeling that invited death, acrimony. Gray faced Hades, "¿What the hell did you do just now? ¡You bastard!" while getting into his battle stance.

His eyes darted at him with murderous intent, he took out the crystal ball that was holding Zeus candle, and raised it up What has been given, must be taken back, is the only way for her to hold out until we get there", right after he chanted the spell, "Light Ark, dispelled source protection", an astral blurry shadow came out from the heart of each Fairy Tail member, they felt as if their power was somehow swallowed by the candle.

"¿What have you done to us?", asked Mirajane feeling weak.

"He removed the protection spell miss Lucy left, now you can only rely on your own and original magic, I suggest you not put yourselves in unnecessary danger. The effect of weakness will pass soon, after your hearts get used to the absence of the protection spell", Pandora replied while she intertwined her fingers in front of her waist.

Natsu stood up although his knees could barely support him, his breath was still hitching and his body still weak, "If you are going to save her, take me with you".

Hades approached Natsu, he put his hand on his face and lifted him up, "I must give you a special treatment, Natsu Dragneel", he sneered at him almost verging on his sadistic instinct. Natsu placed both hands on Hades' wrist and tried to remove his hand, suddenly he felt that Hades' palm was trying somehow to rip out his heart, it was so painful that Natsu's strength crumbled and he began squirming in pain.

Hades pulled his hand away dropping Natsu and revealing a red light coming out of Natsu's eyes, despite their weakness, everyone in the guild was preparing to attack Hades, but the 3 judges surrounded him and prepared to protect him. However, Pandora deemed it wise to avoid an unnecessary fight, she summoned an imposing black-silver trident and recited a spell, "Pain Manipulation, Soul Shock", incapacitating and at the same time engulfing all Fairy Tail members in huge pain.

Among the tears that were forced out of Natsu's eyes, little drops of blood began to accumulate until they formed a small sphere. Hades put it away in a little glass jar and left together with his companions.

Wendy rushed over to Natsu and started to heal him. "They left, ¿What should we do now?", she said putting both of her hands above Natsu's eyes

Erza stood up, she peered at her comrades, the pain disappeared as soon as Pandora left and they were mostly recovered from the weak feeling, "We will look for her on our own, we know she is in some place called Mount Olympus, our friend..." she paused and pressed her lips tightly, "¡No, our family member is in danger!", Erza balled her fist, "¡Let's hurry! Lucy is waiting for us".

After Lucy realized and revealed that only by surrendering her magic at will, Tabby could seize it, she had tried to break Lucy's will again and again through torture, and day after day she failed as now. After pouring her rage and helplessness into Lucy, Tabby removed her anti-magic metal shackles. Then, she placed Lucy back into the cell while she was unconscious. The cell was a very humid, jilted and cold place, since Tabby always left Lucy almost lifeless she didn't preoccupy on restricting the magic in that place, what she may never have imagined is that this place was precisely where Lucy carried out her plan to absorb the dark magic of Mount Olympus. After a moment, Lucy began to regain consciousness, she felt blood rolling down her body with burning pain, she was laying in the ground, with her shaking hand she tried to write down on it, "Mama, ¿How long has it been since I wrote to you? I can't remember...", she sighed in spite herself.
