Anna: Aquarius?

She says as she turns around seeing her celestial spirit suddenly summon herself without Anna having to call on her. The others she's traveling with also stop and look behind.

Sting: Woah who's the fish lady?

Yukino: Shh! Don't say that Sting. That's Aquarius, one of the strongest Celestial spirits to exist. She also has kinda of a short temper, at least what I've seen when ever Lucy summons her.

Minerva is intrigued by this as she's never seen such a powerful being up close. Only Yukino's spirits she's met.

Anna: what happened?

Aquarius: Natsu and Lucy have finally engaged in battle.

Anna: What?! Already?

Aquarius: Yes. Lucy has already opened four gates and is in her celestial dress form.

Anna: We need to get to them immediately. We have to stop them both.

As she's about to take off running, Aquarius holds her by her shoulders stopping her.

Anna: Aquarius? What's the matter?

Aquarius: Anna we need to sit down.

Anna: what? Why? Don't tell me Lucy told you to stop me..

Aquarius: No, nothing like that. It's the opposite. Natsu was able to beat Leo, Capricorn, Sagittarius and Scorpio. Leo and Capricorn severed as a distraction so that Lucy can use Urano Metria. But Natsu countered with a Holy Nova. Canceling out both attacks.

Anna let's out a sigh of relief.

Aquarius: I..I don't know why, but it feels like Natsu did this on purpose.

Minerva heard this and walked up to them.

Minerva: what do you mean?

Aquarius: I've had this weird feeling that someone was trying to get in contact with Lucy and Natsu both. So Natsu intentionally used Holy Nova to counter Urano Metria and force who ever this other person is to be able to reach them.

Anna: So an outside interference stopped them from fighting?

Aquarius: Yeah but...this presence. It feels oddly familiar.

Anna: We should check it out.

Aquarius: I agree. Which is why I'm asking you to sit down. If we combine our magic together we might be able to reach where ever Natsu and Lucy are.

Anna nods her head. She turns around to look at the others.

Anna: Can you guys cover us while we try this?

Sting: No worries we got it all covered.

Rogue: As you wish Lady Anna.

Minerva: You two go an scout around. Orga and Ruphus you two go scout ahead as well. Yukino and I will stay and guard them.

Everyone: Right!

Anna and Aquarius both take sit down on a soft patch of grass and begin to concentrate their magic on each other. They both begin to glow a soft golden light.

Aquarius: Ready?

Anna: Ready.

Natsu: Ow..my head.

He says as he grabs a hold of his head. He slowly begins to get up to his feet. He sees a bright
white light that slowly begins to fade away. He then realizes he is in a balcony of a huge castle. He looks around trying to figure out where he is, or if anyone is around. But he doesn't find anyone.
