Natsu's POV

When we returned to the camp, we were told Gray was about to wake up. Just as he got to his tent, he was leaning in the door frame for support. Juvia was still swung over Gajeel's shoulder, unconscious. "Juvia!" He gasped, trying to run over but clutched his bandaged leg, which he had injured in battle. "She's fine Gray, she just got a little beat up." Erza sighed, taking her from Gajeel and walking into the medical tent, Wendy taking Happy with him. As we stood in silence, me, Gray, Gajeel and Lily, it started to get tense. "Where's Lucy?" Gray asked, bangs covering his eyes, fists clenched and body shaking. "We'll give you two some space." Gajeel and Lily quickly made their exit before they could get caught up in our soon to come argument. "She was captured." I get straight to the point. There was no point in hiding it. Lucy was taken and it was our fault. No, it was my fault. I was the next in line to save, after Gray, and I failed. "What!?" He shouted, looking up in disbelief, tears falling and hair in his face. It was just like when Luce was crying for us to get up. "We were fighting we were all almost down while she watched. That ice freak told her he would stop if he joined her. She agreed." I punched a nearby tree, cracking it in half. Gray ran up and held me up by the collar, pushing he harshly against another tree. "You had no right to fall! We don't have the privilege to get beaten! She. She doesn't have the strength to be abandoned again." He tightened his grip, knuckles going white. "Gray, we didn't abandon her. We came back for help." I said, blank faced. "What?" He growled. (Not in the sexy way 😏) "As much as we didn't need a strippers help, Erza made us come back for Juvia and Happy." I smirked at my insult, trying to lighten the mood.

He relaxed, sighed then sat against the tree. I leaned on the same one. "What is she to you?" Gray suddenly asked. "I don' know. I feel like I don't know her at all, y'know." I shrugged. He paused for a moment, probably thinking. "Do you want to know more about her?" He questioned. I thought for a second. "Yeah, she's quite mysterious and interesting." I chuckled, standing in front of him and putting my hand out to help him up. He huffed, mumbling something about 'dense' or 'idiot'. He got up, without the help of my hand. "Just don't try anything Mira tells you to, okay?" He grumbles and walks off, hands in his pockets.

What would Mira tell me to do?

Lucy's POV

After Lyon knocked me out, I woke up to my limbs chained, again. Yet, this time, it felt more gooey than the others times. I looked down and saw an purple liquid surrounding everything but my upper leg, middle body and head. I was still dizzy and wasn't fully comprehending my situation. "Ah, you're awake. You're just in time to see your legacy." Something like a male's voice told me. A nearby, mirror like puddle reflected my appearance. I my hair was down and messy, probably from not showering, fighting and mainly trying to stay alive. But, the thing that really caught my attention was the purple spot on my eye, shaped like a water droplet. "The process is nearly complete, Emperor. But it seems..." After that, I couldn't hear what the masked man was saying. Everything was going cloudy.

What felt like hours passed, and only my chest and head was showing. By now, I had given up on anyone coming to save me. They were probably trying to keep the Deliora thing. My head was lowered, mainly due to boredom and my body was becoming weaker and weaker by the second.

Suddenly, clouds of dust filled the corner of the room. I saw a flash of pink and a flash of blue. A figure that resembled two cats flew up to me, but my vision was too impaired to make out anything if importance. He tried pulling me out of my state. It didn't work.

After a while, I saw some figures, maybe five take The triplets down and and start on defeating Lyon. Just as my body was completely enveloped in the purple liquid, Lyon was taken down and the huge Deliora statue broke down, releasing him.
