Normal P.O.V

Lisanna pants feeling the heat get to her. "You gotta hang in there. I'll just get us out." Natsu assured her. 

"Why is it so hot in here?" She asked sweat dripping down her face. 

Natsu growls "This sucks!" He slammed his body against the bars hoping they'd break but they haven't yet. 

"'C'mon back, you cowards! Open this door and fight me!" 

Lisanna sighs. "It's no use yelling." She stopped the Dragon Slayer. "And we can't escape on our own.  This cell, these cuffs, they're too strong to break." 

"No. Look, they can't keep us locked in here. We will burst out. Shana, Erza, and Mira are counting on us." Natsu said not planning to give up. He knows Shana needs him. 


"Fat chance, kid." A voice cuts in. 

"What?!" Natsu's shouts ticked off. "Nobody asked you so whoever you are, feel free to butt the hell out!" 

"Honestly, gettin' put behind bars just made you more of a nuisance," Silver said holding a cup in his hand. 

"He's always a nuisance," Alastor mutters being worn around Silvers's neck.

Natsu glared at the man that froze him that got him captured. "Oh yeah?"

Silver hands Lisanna the cup of water he was holding

Silver hands Lisanna the cup of water he was holding. "Ice cold water. For the lady." He offered. 

"I don't guess you'd have a reason to poison it." Lisanna said keeping her guard up.

Natsu sniffed the drink. "Smells clean, just like normal water." He assured Lisanna it was safe to drink.

"Obviously, I can't ya goin' anywhere, but nor can I stand by and watch a young lady suffer. " Silver said being a gentleman. 

"So, whaddaya think?" Natsu asked Lisanna. 

"I think I'm gonna drink," Lisanna said standing herself up.  She goes closer to the bars and drinks the drink.

"Well?" Natsu asked wondering if the water is safe. 

Lisanna sighs feeling refreshed. "Yeah, it tastes just fine. Thank you." 

"Yeah, thanks. Now how 'bout a little food while you're at it? And give me back that Crimson Lord! He doesn't belong to you!" Natsu said glaring at the man. 

Silver chuckles and walks away. "Hey, wait! Who are you, anyway?" Natsu asked. 

"Natsu," Lisanna said wondering why he was acting weird. 

"It's weird," Natsu mutters. "He smells just like Gray for some reason." 


"Natsu? He can't be. No." Silver mutters to himself but Alastor heard him.

Shana's P.O.V

I pant, as my blood drips on the ground. "S-Shiro..." I mutter only for it to quickly be replaced by a scream when he sliced me with his sword. 

Shiro glares at me when my body hits the floor with a thud. "W-Why?" I thought he was dead...

"You thought I died back when you became a Flame Haze?" He finally spoke after what seemed like forever. 

It is him. I remember hearing his voice from way back when. I can tell by his scent that it's him but it's also way different. 

"Correct. I am dead. But Tartaros brought me back so that I may accomplish my mission." 

My body shook as I didn't have the strength to even sit up. "Your mission?" 

"To kill you and Alastor!" He simply said raising his sword. 

My eyes widen. But... why Shiro? 

Shiro was one of the greatest Crimson Lords that fought alongside Alastor with the previous Flaming Haired Blazing Eyed Hunter... He's the one that gave me my training lessons on becoming a Flame Haze. Next to Alastor I always saw Shiro as a father figure. 

Shiro...

For some reason, I felt the place start to shake.


Normal P.O.V

"What now?" Natsu asked once the place started to rumble. 

"It couldn't be an earthquake," Lisanna said. 

Natsu grunts landing face flat on the ground. "How ya hangin' in there, Lisanna?" 

"Mirajane." She mutters getting worried for her older sister. 

They both grunt when they got tossed and turned the dungeon. "Hey, Natsu! Look!" Lisanna shouts when someone mysterious appears on the other side of he bars. 

"My master..." The figure spoke holding a familiar sword. 

Natsu sniffed the air. "Whoa! I know that scent."

"My master..." The figure said again. 

Natsu smiled. "It's the Nietono No Shana!"

Lisanna looked confused. "You mean, Shana's sword?" 

The figure that was holding the Nietono No Shana broke the bars like it was something simple do to causing Natsu and Lisanna to gasp.

Cana feeling guilty went to talk things over with Elfman while the other waited for Levy to figure out where Tartaros is.

"Based on everything Happy told me, I've done it."The bluenette announced. Everyone gasped. 

"That's awesome, Levy!" Lucy praised her friend. 

"So, where are they?' Makarov questioned. 

Levy pointed up. "Above us."

"What?" Lucy mutters.

"They're right over us."

"Are you certain?"

"What the heck are you talkin' about, kid?" Gajeel asked not understanding. 

"I know how it sounds." she huffed.  "But when Happy escaped, they were near the eastern border, heading west. Unless they change directions, they should be pretty much on top of Magnolia now."

"Guessed they thought they'd come to us." Gajeel mutters. 

"We'll have Natsu and Shana back in no time," Lucy said looking at Happy and Gray. 

"Aye!" Happy nods.


"Get ready!" Makarov announces. 

Everyone chants together. Then all of a sudden there was a bright light followed by a loud explosion.
