Broken {Completed}

Suprise Visitors

(3rd POV)
"Who are you?" Natsu sneered angrily.
The strange man smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "My name is of no importance, I'm simply here to retrieve the girl and deliver her to my boss"

Natsu stood protectively in front of Lucy. "Like hell, I'm not gonna let you touch her!"
"I don't have to touch her to take her" he smirked.

Natsu prepared to launch an attack but Loke moved in front of him. "Natsu! Focus on the spell! We'll handle this guy!" Natsu looked at him confused, but then the rest of Lucy's spirits began to appear. Even Yukino's spirits appeared. "Please save the Princess." Virgo pleaded bowing to him.

(Natsu's POV)
I ran back to Lucy, she was sleeping peacefully, as if there wasn't an all out battle happening around her. I kneeled down once again, chanting the spell more quickly. Before I knew it Lucy and I had disappeared into this other world, just as Loke had said. I quickly scooped up little Lucy and held her tightly. I walked through the unfamiliar world that surrounded us. I had to to admit that I found it to oddly beautiful. There was pink and gold fog everywhere. A bright shining sun and bright glowing moon hung in the sky on either side of the world even though both were visible. Even the stars were visible, each lined in Lucy's favorite constellations. It felt warm here, like summer even though it smelled like fall. I continued walking and found myself staring at the rainbow sakura tree as it floated down the river thats in front of Lucy's apartment. "Hey this is just like-"

"The time you dug up the sacred tree for Lucy." I turned quickly looking for the source of the voice. I was so shocked I almost dropped Lucy.
The beautiful woman approached me slowly, as if gliding towards me. She gently stroked Lucy's hair and smiled. "My beautiful daughter. I've missed you so."

"Daughter? What are you talking about? Lucy's mother died when she was 7. Unless you're one of the memories I have to somehow lock away." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. How the heck am I supposed to lock away a memory?

"I'm just the last of Layla's magic that resided in the seal. Now that it's been broken and I've realized the situation, I decided to linger a little while longer in order to help you. I'm going to help you put a year of training into 1 hour."  I looked at her in disbelief a year of training in just 1 hour? Does she mean like what Ultear did?

"I'm going to alter the way time flows here. Then we'll collect Lucy's memories. It will feel like a year for us, but it will have only been an hour. Unfortunately since this world exists within the Celestial World 1 day will still equal 3 months in Earthland. We will need to start immediately. You just need to walk around and as you pass through a memory it will turn into a small ball of light. Create a chest with your fire magic then create a seal as well, then capture the memories in it."

Meanwhile at the guild...
The master was waiting patiently in his office for the arrival of a certain Celestial Wizard. He heard light knocks on his door. "Come in!" He shouted excitedly. Quietly the young wizard walked in and sat down nervously in front of Fairy Tails master. "Yukino my dear, its good to see you, any news on Natsu and Lucy?"

"Only that Natsu successfully completed the first part of the spell. But forces have already begun to move against us. An unknown wizard was waiting for their arrival and attacked, Lucy's spirits are currently fighting him." Yukino placed her hands in her lap and balled his fists, frustrated about the entire situation.

"I'll inform the rest of the guild. Thank you for your help. If you hear anything please let me know." The Master stood up and walked towards his door Yukino following close behind. We must be prepared for anything.
