New Era: Save You

Never Give Up

Last chapter:

"Natzu..." Happy's wavering voice made Natsu back to reality. He walked toward Happy without looking up to see many poor chimeras. Just as he stopped right behind Happy, he could see a glimpse of a bare feet in front of him. He looked up in front of him and he saw it. White clothes wavering inside the water. No stain of blood. Blonde hair was already reached her waist. Her eyes were closed just as she was sleeping peacefully. He feels like she'll wake up right away and asked them what happened with her puzzled face. A faint vanilla scent from her that was nearly covered by blood scent. It was Lucy.

Natsu placed his hand on the magic glass tube. He banged it weakly and keep stronger as he called her name. "Luce... Luce... Luce!!" Only his voice and the glasses he banged echoed the room. Happy cried silently, whichever in happiness for finally find her, or in sadness that she doesn't smile at them right now. Just as they want to save her, black waves dashed at them and both flew away from Lucy. "Damn it, Luce!!" Natsu grabbed the floor and use his claws to stay. Happy grabbed his scarf. Suddenly a man appeared besides Lucy's tube and applauded at them.

"Well well. You did a good job for coming this far." He smirked at Natsu. He has a purple eyes and one handed man. An army uniform suits him despite his old age. The waves hasn't stopped. Natsu gritted his teeth, "YOU! ARE YOU THE ONE WHO TOOK HER!?" He roared. The man smiled widely in amuse, "Yes, I am! I saved the queen!"

"Saved?" Natsu replied.

"Yes! She should have died with her wound that day, so I treated her until now!" Said the man while spreading his arms widely, and prideful. "She seems fine now. Should you give her back to us?" Natsu asked something useless. The man stopped his smile and looking down at Natsu coldly. "Give her back? What are you so that you could have my queen?"

"Wha-"

"She was hurt because she killed my King! She killed my King because her heart was corrupted by you pests, Fairy Tail..." Suddenly many glasses shattered behind them. "Natsu! Look back!" Natsu do as Happy's word to see all chimera wake up and started to come at them.

"I just finished healing her wounds with forbidden dark magic. I shall perform purification ceremony to wake my queen from her worst nightmare. She must know that darkness is her real world and Light is just her eternal enemy. She already dreamed long enough." Natsu eyes widening hearing the man's words. The man touched the tubes and smirked at Natsu before they disappeared into the darkness. "Irokuuuuu!!!!" Natsu screamed as he tried to walk into the darkness, but the wave is too strong for him to fight back. The last he saw was Lucy's peaceful face inside the tube.

Chimera's voices in agony fills the room. Natsu stay silent, and so Happy.
"Shit!! Shit, shit, shit!!" Natsu suddenly banged his hands on the floor until his fists in blood. Happy crying silently besides him, "Lushe..." Even thought the room was fills with chimeras, they both cry silently. A griffin like chimera approached them and wanted to land an attact, but Natsu soon turned back and grabbed its claw. He's in tears, looking hurt while looking at the chimera's eyes, "I'm really sorry..." and all becomes black with a great sound of chimeras' agony cries.

After fighting seems like hours, he beat the last chimera. Happy was already exhausted after flying Natsu while fighting with the chimeras. Natsu himself is trying to grasped many oxygen as much as possible. He barely can stand with his feet. His body needs to rest, his body crying in tiredness and lack of magic. But his eyes keeps burning. He took a step and another step, following her scent. Happy used small wooden log to walk besides Natsu. They have to keep going, before it's to late to save Lucy. They don't want to feel lose again, they don't want to regret for not able to save Lucy. Happy must say he missed her. Erza and the other must say they need her in Fairy Tail. Natsu must tell her,

That he loves her.

After climbing the stairs, they arrived on the top floor. iroku smirked widely and welcoming Natsu warmly.

"This place will be your grave." And so Iroku released his dark magic from his body. Never fear on that, Natsu burns his body and took a stance, ready for the last battle. "Let's do this, Happy."

"Aye!"
