"Looks like our ride is here." Says Luke. Nashi looks up at him. "What do you mean?"

Luke sighs as he breaks the power sealing handcuffs he was in, surprising Nashi slightly. "How'd you break out of them!" She Asks.

"I'm just way stronger than you." He smirks. Nashi looks at the handcuffs. "Or they weren't put on right and you figured that out today." She says, rolling her eyes.

Luke pouts. "You couldn't let me have this?" Nashi shakes her head no. "Just get me out of here." She says and Luke nods, setting them on fire and letting them burn slowly, the fire didn't affect Nashi of course.

"Where to now?" Asks Nashi. "This way should lead us to McKenzie and everyone else." Says Luke. "How do you know?" Asks Nashi.!

"Ah, because once you mate someone you can talk to each other in your mind, as long as the other person allows it."

Nashi just nods in respond and follows her brother through the quarters.

I never knew that... she thinks to herself.

"Where do you two think your going?" Asks August. Luke huffs as he lights his fist on fire. "You again?" He says as he goes to punch him.

"Nash, I'll fight him you go on and-"

"I'm not leaving." She says stubbornly, lighting her own hand on fire. "But-"

"No buts Luke." She says joining their fight.

"Two against one, I should be scared." Says Luke sarcastically.

"Yeah, you should." Says Luke, punching him in his jaw, causing him to fall over.

"Fire dragon celestial roar!" Nashi calls out, and her and Luke high five.

"Good job Nash! All that training did pay off!" Nashi smiles, enjoying her older brothers feedback for once. "Wow, I didn't expect you to compliment me." She smirks. "Don't get used to it." Says Luke. "I-"

And that's when August, pounces on Nashi, grabbing her by the neck. "You guys shouldn't let your guard down so easily." Says August, choking her slightly.

"Dammit!" Curses Luke. "Fire dragon-"

"Finish that sentence and she dies." Says August.

"You wouldn't. She's a key part of you and Uncle's Zeref plan."

August shrugs. "We do need her, but originally it was just you we needed, so we could kill her is she gets in the way."

"You wouldn't," Luke Says.

August smirks. "I would just to see you break down." He Says, his grip on her neck tightening.

"Hang in their Nash, I'm-"

"Your gonna do what? Take another step forward and she's dead." He Says.

Luke sighs, and that's when he notices something out of the corner of his eye.

They want a distraction?

"So, what're you gonna do with us now?" He Asks. "Well, we're probably gonna-"

And that's when August receives a kick to his face, knocking August off of Nashi.

"You couldn't of come at a better time Storm." Says Luke as they fist bump. "Thanks for the help but I was just about to knee him where the sun doesn't shine." Nashi sighs.

"Hey, I know everything is frantic right now but, can we talk? I mean, when everything's over?" Asks Storm. Nashi nods. "Yeah, I need to talk to you too." She Says. "Stop flirting you too. McKenzie says she's waiting by the door, so let's hurry and head there." Luke Says And Storm and Nashi nod and begin heading that way.

"Also, speaking of which, can both of you turn into dragons?" Storm Asks.

"Yeah, why?" Asks Luke.

"Well, that's our escape route."

"Ugh, I hate transforming." Complains Nashi.

"Yeah, well hate it another day, we have to hurry and get out before-"

"Before I catch up to you guys? Already here!"

Luke sighs. "You guys go on ahead I'll-"

"We're not leaving!" They both say at the same time."

"Stubborn..." he mumbles.

"Well, lets take out the trash together." Say Storm And Luke and Nashi nod.

"And what are you doing here Storm? Didn't we tell you to stay put?"

Storm freezes at the voice of his father, and turns around slowly.

"Hey..." he waves.

Gray sighs. "Hurry up and head this way you guys."

"But August is- Wait where'd he go?" Asks Luke.

"He finally realized our plan from all along." Says Gray a smirk on his face.

"And that is...?" Luke Asks.

"Your parents are doing it at the moment...they're trying to reason with Zeref, but by seeing their presence August probably thinks there after him."

"That's not good! The prophecy says nothing about reasoning!" Says Luke.

"Luke, Natsu and Lucy are stronger than you think. Let's just go along with whatever plan my dad has and get out of here." Like sighs but nods.

"Yeah whatever."
