The Luck Has Vanished [COMPLETED]

十四 「Jū Yon」

Lucy ran away from Rogue while laughing. "I'm gonna get you~! " He shouted teasingly. "Noooo!!!" She shouted back. She ran into Kaosa's bedroom where Acnologia and Kaosa was watching TV. "MOMMY!!! DADDY!!!" She cried out.

She hid in between and shushed them. Rogue slowly walked in and called out, "Oh, Lucy~! Where are you~?" He slowly approached the couch where the dragons were sitting. "Is she here?" He asked.

"I have not see her. Kaosa, have you?" Acnologia said. Kaosa shook her head no. A giggle was heard. Rogue perked up when Lucy jumps up and shouts, "HERE I AM!!!" Rogue cheered and hugged her. "RoRo, I hungry," Little Lucy said.

He picked her up and walked out of the room to the kitchen. He placed her in her high chair. "What do you wish to eat?" He asked her. "STRAWBERRIES!!" She squealed before laughing. Rogue chucked and said, "Strawberries it is."

He went to the fridge, pulled out a pound of strawberries, and placed them in a bowl. He cut off the leafy part and began to slice them into small pieces so she doesn't choke. He placed them into a smaller bowl before handing it to her.

She cheered as she stuffed her face happily. Rogue watched her with a smile on his face, but deep down, he was upset. Lucy has been like this for 3 weeks. She recognized her mother and father. Everyone else -- Happy, Zeref, Grandeeney, Sting, who eventually went back to Sabertooth, Carla, Wendy, and even himself -- she didn't know.

It broke his heart.

Seeing the one he love reduced to a mere child.

He simply did not know what to do.

Porlyusica looked over Natsu's unconscious body. "Quite strange," she muttered. "What happened to him?" Gray asked. Porlyusica looked at him and said, "Something must have triggered a reaction that rendered him unconscious."

"What type of reaction?" Gray asked. Porlyusica shrugged. "It is unknown what the cause is exactly," she said. "I could be anything from a loss of a loved one or a memory." Cana looked at Natsu sadly.

He was covered up with a blanket, breathing heavily as he whimpered in pain. Every once in a while, he would let out a couple of words. "No... I'm sorry... Don't go..." he would say.

Today, it was silent. Natsu didn't say a word, and neither did the guild. The only words that were said was when someone went on a job. All they want is Natsu to get better.

Happy was watching over Lucy for today. She was currently drawing in the arena while Happy was in his Chaos form watching beside her. Happy heard the flapping of wings, and his massive head snapped up to the sky. A red blob could be seen from the distance.

"Lucy, get behind me," Happy ordered. Little Lucy looked up and obeyed quietly. Happy took a defensive stance as the figure began to become visible to the naked eye. Happy's eyes widen as he saw the figure was a dragon. The dragon landed right in front of them.

"IKNOL ERU ONO?!" Happy demanded. "Pömnuria nam er Igneel. Eka mulabra ono né mïnen. Eka sja wiol Kaosa(1)," the dragon declared. Happy looked confused. "How do you know the Ancient Language?" He asked the dragon.

The dragon lowered his head so he was eye level to them. "I am a friend of hers." Lucy peeked out from behind Happy and the dragon noticed. "Hello, little one. I am Igneel," The dragon said. Lucy giggles and walk to the dragon to pet him. He chuckled and licked her cheek.

Soon, a memory surfaced up.

FLASHBACK
"Nastu! Are you ok?" Lucy asked a pink haired boy. Natsu looked out to the horizon in despair. "I miss him," He said. Lucy at next to him. "You mean Igneel?" She asked. He nodded his head.

"You will find him one day," Lucy told him. He leaned his head on her shoulder. "Thank you, Lucy," Natsu whispered. Lucy smiled and leaned her head on his. "No problem," She whispered back.

END OF FLASHBACK

Lucy screamed as she held her head in pain, falling to her knees. "LUCY!!!" Happy screamed out. Lucy fell over and went unconscious. Happy raised his head and roared to the heavens, signalling something bad has happened.

Almost immdietely, everyone came to the location Happy and Lucy was. Kaosa and Acnologia turned human before rushing over. "What happened?!" Acnologia demanded. Happy looked at him and said, "We were here relaxing when this dragon here," He pointed at Igneel with his tail, "appeared out of nowhere, demanded to see Mother, claiming to be her friend."

Kaosa looked at Igneel as she cradled Lucy in her arms. "Igneel?" She questioned. "Hello, old friend," Igneel said, bowing to her. "It has been a long time, hasn't it?" She nodded her head. "Too long." Igneel noticed Acnologia's presence and bared his teeth. "What are you doing her, demon?" He demanded.

Acnologia looked at him calmly. "I am here for my child," he stated. Igneel looked at him in shocked. "When did you ever gain compassion?!" Igneel screamed out. Acnologia growled lowly. "Do not make me hurt you in front of my family," He warned.

"ENOUGH!!"

Kaosa looked at man and dragon. "My daughter is in peril and all you can do is bicker?!" She yelled at them. They looked down. "I want one of you to go get a room ready for her right now and I want the other to go with Grandeeney to find the doctor." Neither of them moved.

"NOOOOOOOW!!!!!"
