The couple lived normally for the past seven years and the news about the ones hunting them ceased until none really reached them anymore. Their lives on States was good, E.N.D gave one of his villas to Natsu as a gift and had security all over the place. The red-haired dragneel was a famous business man from the eyes of the citizen, and a mafia underneath his oh-so-handsome facade. Natsu on the other hand started a business as well for his family and to save up money for Nashi's future. It went smoothly for these past years. Or so.

-

"What?" His jaws hung open from the news E.N.D revealed, after years of being silent, they popped out of nowhere again, the ones hunting them. Threatening to kill them again. Lucy was listening eagerly at the two men, she could clearly see their distressed state about the topic.

"How did they know?" She asked and caught E.N D's attention, "Sources I suppose, they got eyes everywhere believe me." He then rubbed his temple and clapped his hands to dismiss the current topic. "We'll just have to move again hm? We'll pack our things and I'll go prepare our private plane-"

"No. We're not going anywhere." Natsu responsed blandly as his head was downcast, E.N.D raised a brow at this and countered "What? Do you want your family in danger here?" He spat, the younger twin has his nose scrunched. "No?" Natsu replied.

"Then why stay!?" Lucy couldn't tell if E.N.D was just worried about her and Natsu or he's just wasn't on the mood to discuss much about it. Natsu was taken aback from his brother's sudden outburst and stood up, placing a hand on E.N.D's shoulder.

"We can't keep on running E.N.D. They'll follow us even to our deaths! We need to stop this." Natsu sighed softly and gave his brother a soft pat on the shoulder. "I have a family too Natsu, my son is waiting for me at the doorstep of our home every night hoping to see his father walking through that door. I can't risk him growing up without a dad" E.N.D's voice lowered on the last sentence, Natsu gritted his teeth. "You think you're the one who's afraid of doing that huh?" Natsu retorted, gnashing his jaw harder. He wanted E.N.D to understand that if those people are dead, their lives would be better and if lucky, they can come home alive. They seemingly forgot Lucy's presence on the room and started arguing, it was no playful one though. It scared her seeing both of them fight.

"I'm not scared of dying." Natsu inhaled sharply "I'm scared that one day they will harm my family, your family when it's my business to begin with. You all should not be involved in this"

"What do you mean yours? I've been also in that organization, they hate us both when we left because they lost "legends" on their side"  E.N.D quoted and scoffed, rolling his eyes.

"Look, just think about it alright? You need rest" Natsu gave the younger pinkette soft pats on his shoulder and the other nodded. E.N.D bid Natsu and Lucy goodbye and drove off leaving Natsu heave a breath.

"I just want him to understand?" Natsu sat down at the end of their bed as Lucy approached him, sitting next to him. "I understand his resolve. Yours too, but it won't work out if both of your heads are burning. Let it cool down, I'm sure we'll make a decision soon" Lucy softly inquired to her husband. He nodded as a response and tucked both on them on bed. He snuggled close to her and inhaled her sweet scent, it really calms him down.

A week has passed since then and boy, Lucy could really feel someone is looking at her when she's out on public. She opened this to Natsu and he immediately hired guards to, well, guard down the house but they are disguised as butlers or maids on the mansion. Over the years, Lucy has been sending letters to their friends about their situation of this and that and she would be overjoyed when she received one back from them. Nashi has grown up into a beautiful eleven year old girl. The girl was bright and quite rowdy like her father and being a intelligent girl she is, she was able to cope up with everything that was going on around her even with the danger they are in.

Few days more and they finally settled with a plan : kill those people before they could. The twins had many men, they recruited some personally. Now in a dark room both the pinkettes were loading their guns and placed some on a wide table.

"Ah, I almost forgot the feeling of this" Natsu chuckled and poured rum on both glasses.

"What feeling?" E.N.D echoed and sat on a stool across from Natsu was standing. "I don't know, the feeling of being into action again?" He shaked his head. E.N.D let out a small laugh and pulled a gun from the table. "You're excited."

"I am not. I will never be excited when my family's at stake" Natsu ran his hair on his unruly pink locks and handed E.N.D the other shot of rum.

"Fair point" the other pinkette stated. They both held their glasses high and clashed them slightly. "Cheers" they said in sync and drank the bitter liquid down. Who knows maybe this will be their last toast together as brothers. Who really knows.

"Let's get this over with" Natsu cracked his muscles and picked a big gun, cocking it to load it up. E.N.D hummed a tune and picked a sniper, oh he was a sadist indeed.

"I won't loose to those assholes" Natsu hissed under his breath.

"As do I" E.N.D chuckled. "Get ready bitches! We're popping off some heads" The younger twin yelled down to the people resting on the living room as soon as he got out of the room he and Natsu was in. Screams and cheers were to be heard from below.

"Great kids we got here" Natsu remarked as and amused smile painted his visage. E.N.D nodded and held his fist, Natsu got it immediately and fist bumped with him.

Tonight, those people will fall. The twins' respective families already knew what was gonna happen and was told to expect the worst. Lucy broke down into tears and held Natsu close that time as if he was gonna die but he won't, unless they take the bacon with them.


"Let the games begin." Natsu smirked.

And the pandemonium has started.
