The Fate Of Fire & Stars

|Arc 2| Chapter Seven *20*

"Nash,"

"Nashi,"

"Nashi,"

"Nash!"

Nashi's eyes fluttered open and her eyes scanned the room. "W-where are we?" She asks, as she begins to remember what happened.

"So Zeref captured us?"

"Yeah...he did." Says Luke. "But don't worry I'll get us out of here."

"Nice for you to try and be the hero Luke, but, nobody can get out of here."

Luke glares at August. "You know, the prophecy doesn't have anything to do with you. You don't have to do this." Speaks Nashi.

"Don't worry little cuz, I want to."

"But why? What do you want from us?" Asks Luke. "Your power of course. We'll drain it from the both of you and leave your bodies all dry and powerless. You'll probably die before that happens however."

"You don't have to though. We're family right? And you're your own person. You don't have to follow after you dad."

August rolls his eyes. "Whatever. I'll see you guys when it's time for you to be fed." Says August walking away.

"Now, as I was speaking, don't worry about August. We'll get out of here." Says Luke. Nashi bites her lip but nods.

~2 Days Later~

"Where are they?" Lucy asks frantically. "L-Luce don't get mad-"

"Don't get mad? Don't get mad you tell me? How can I not be mad?! You let your children get taken!"

"Well actually we're using them as bait." Says Gray. "Bait? What if I used Storm as bait? Would you like that!" Lucy yells. "Calm down Lu, yelling won't fix this. We should listen to the plan they've placed."

"I'm listening." Lucy says after a bit of silence."

"What are we gonna do?" Asks McKenzie. "You guys are gonna go on ahead to the Northern Kingdom," says Gajeel. "What? Why? You think I'm gonna sit still while Nashi's gone?" Asks Storm. "Juvia thinks you should calm down Storm. We think this is best to keep you all safe, along with keeping Sylvia and Rin safe too." Says Juvia.

"Mom, you didn't agree to this did you? You either dad?" Asks Reiki. Erza sighs. "It's to protect you guys. We're actually heading out now. Watch over your sisters." Says Erza while Jellal decides to stay silent.

"Mom! Please, please, please!" Begs Nova. "I know how bad you wanna help but still, no." Says Mira. Ryuuji looks to Laxus. "Dad? Come on! This is a teachable moment! It could even be like a trianing-" "You heard you mother." Says Laxus and both him and Nova sigh.

"Anna's coming with us, so be safe. Understood?" Says Erza. "Yeah, yeah we'll be safe. Have fun." Says Reiki.

"Looks like their in a hurry," says Gale, notching his dad and all the other dragon slayers go into their dragon form.

"Yeah...there already gone." Pouts Scarlett.

"They are? Great!" Says Reiki smirking. "What's so great about this?" Asks Gale, Who was also still reading. "It's great because we can leave now. You really thought I'd let them go rescue him without us?" Asks Reiki.

"What about transportation? By the time we get there it'll be over."

"We have dragons too remember! McKenzie, can't you turn into a dragon?" He asks. "I only have my moms magic even though I get motion sick. Grace and Gale can though." She says pointing to her younger siblings.

"We're not as big as our dad though..." trails off Grace.

"Still, great! Who else?" Asks Reiki. "Me," says Ryuuji. Reiki looks to Nova. "You have motion sickness and you can't either?" Asks Reiki. Nova nods. "I think those three should be enough. I'm pretty sure their far from here so let's get going." Says Rosemary.

Grace, Gale, and Ryuuji all turned into dragons in a instant. It was like their whole body grew and glowed and shined at the same time.

"Woah, you were right. You guys are like half Uncle Gajeel And Uncle Laxus's size."

"Hush it!" Ryuuji Calls. "Let's just hurry this up and-" "Shit! I forgot Lena!" Says Nova rushing back inside to get her little sister, and when she comes back out she has Rin and Sylvia with her too.

"Looks like you forgot your siblings Storm," Nova Smirks And Storm rolls his eyes. "Me and the twins will ride on Grace." Says Storm. "If you two fall off your dead and I'm gonna be dead by mom, understood?" He yells them. Sylvia nods while Rin laughs. "We'll all be dead together!"

"Mines will be more painful than yours though..." Storm shudders. Climbing on top of Grace and putting the twins on his lap. Well then I'll ride with Ryuuji and Lena, and Rose can join us." Says Nova.

"Actually Nov, can we ride together. We need to talk. Nova blushes but nods anyway. "Your Fine with riding with Scarlett right?" Nova Asks her and Rosemary nods. "Thank you fate so much! Reiki was gonna annoy the hell out of me."

"And I still will you brat!" He says sticking out his tongue.

"Stop playing you guys, get focused! Main priority, saving Nashi and Storm!"

"Yeah, and lets make this a little more fun. Let's try and save them before our parents can," Says Storm slyly, smirking as always.
