Natsu POV

"ERIGOR" I shouted, dropping Gray lightly on the ground. Erigor was standing in front of me with a wooden spoon in his hand. His hair and clothes were flowing in the wind oh so gracefully. I grit my teeth and got into fighting stance.

"HEHEHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hello pesky little fly. I'm surprised my trap didn't burn your little wings off" he grinned. A tick mark appeared on my head.

"SHUT IT TURTLEBACK!! CAUSE OF YOU MY LUCE IS INJURED!! YOU STUPID PRRRRRIIIIICCCKKKK!!" I screamed in rage and pulled out my machine gun.

"HA!! YOU THNK A MACHINE GUN CAN KILL ME?!" He said cockily and aimed his wooden spoon at me. What a joke...
Suddenly gunshots were heard. My eyes widened as i dogged three bullets. What the hell... I glanced on the ground to see they were not bullets at all. They were iron spoons.....This guy must really like spoons. I cocked my gun, aimed and fired, shooting multiple bullets at once. The sound metal hitting against metal reached my ears.  Must be blocking it with his spoons.  Playful bastard...

"NATSU!!! STOP!!" I heard Erza's voice. The sound of a sword cutting through the wind and Erigor's howl of pain. I just know Erza injured him. Leave it to Erza to steal my spotlight... The dust finally cleared and I was able to see her clearly. But she wasn't alone. Wendy was standing beside her and my Luce was on her back looking pale weak and lifeless. My eyes widened as I dashed over to them.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! SHE CAN'T DIE!! NO!!

"Please tell me she ain't dead" I said in disbelief. My heart cracked with every word I spoke.

"No, she has a chance. We can't give up" She looked up at me with glossy eyes. That's when I knew that I had a spark of hope left and I had to make it true. I nodded seriously ignoring my aching heart. It hurt with every beat against my ribcage. I grabbed Luce from her as Erza began to explain. I nodded silently as we began following the map to the otherside of the world.

The first thing to go on is the train. Then a car and boats and repeat. Yeah this is going to be one rough trip. But for Luce, I'll do anything..

-On The Train-
Everyone was fidgiting in their sleep. Wendy had small tear streams on her now puffy cheeks and Erza kept twitching with a smile on her face. Luce was laying on my lap, her skin paler than usual and her breathing pattern forced and shallow. 

Of course my face was blank. The motion sickness had no effect on me surprisingly. I promised myself not to cry for both me and Luce. Cause once I do I  won't stop.

I ran my hand frustratedly through my hair. We have two days to travel across the world, find this plant and help Luce. That means no sleep, no breaks and definitely no delays. I know I won't sleep until i have Luce in my arms. That's when I'm going to tell her I love her and we're going to live together with Suna and Nashi by our sides.

Speaking of which, where is Nashi? I haven't seen her since I've been with Luce. She wasn't even at the base nor her house. I never saw her at her house either. I'll just ask Luce when she's better...
