A/N: So, Someone had a go at me today because I was listening to a Linkin Park album and the song 'Bleed it out' was on, apparently the song is racist and therefore I am a racist prick for listening to it, I may have argued with logic but my head hurt too much from the retardedness of the attack so I sort of just walked away and shook my head. So anyway, that was my day XD.

The boat lurched suddenly and Natsu stumbled against the wall steadying himself with his hand he looked around, that was almost…unnatural, no it was unnatural the sea was almost dead when he was standing on the deck of the ship, he regained his footing and the boat stopped rocking, he darted forward, his side hurt slightly but he would manage, he practically broke the door of its hinges as he rammed it with his shoulder, fortunately he turned the handle so they would not be paying for the ship.

"Natsu?" Erza questioned, Natsu staggered back slightly, Erza wore nothing but her bra and panties, it made an alluring sight the bright crimson of her undergarments contrasting against her pale skin, but when she did not react at all, he knew something was off only made more prominent by the lack of scolding or general Erza behavior.

"Who are you?" Natsu demanded, pushing the fact that he was growling at a half naked woman.

"What kind of question is that?" Erza almost cooed, Natsu growled and his eyes flashed, he stepped forward heavily and grabbed the woman by the neck lifting her off the ground and slamming her into the wall, in the process confirming his suspicion "You may be able to mimic her look but her scent is another story altogether!" Natsu growled as he pressed the neck of the person in front of him.

"Tch, and I was going to have a little fun with you," The red hair turned black, a sleek tail sprouted from her lower back and her brown eyes turned black and glowed slightly, the revealing clothing changed to her tight black leather combat suit.

"Where's Erza!?" Natsu demanded pulled her away from the wall and slamming her into it again, the wood behind her creaked but held.

"You are never going to make it in time," Luna taunted "You were always three steps behind."

The woman locked her leg against Natsu's chest and pushed, forcing him away from her before twisting against the wall and jumping towards him drawing her two small daggers as she lunged him, Natsu drew his swords with a flourish as he battered the attack away and glared at her over the edge of his weapon "You are going to tell me where Erza is and then I am going to rip your heart out through your chest." Natsu growled darkly.

"Hmph, she is exactly where you were heading, on her way to meet the prince of the Southern Isles, only she is going to kill him for us." Luna taunted flatly.

Natsu charged her, slicing through her from the shoulder to the waist, the blades struck nothing and she quivered as if she made of air before she laughed at him and disappeared, Natsu sheathed his weapons and ran from the room, He found the man he had met beforehand on the deck.

"Where is The prince of the Southern Isles camped?" Natsu demanded.

The man looked at him in surprise "He stays in a makeshift base we made in the southern cathedral, Why?"

"Something happened to Erza," Natsu explained as fast as he could "I don't know what but your prince is in serious trouble if we don't get there as fast as possible."

Toru stared at Natsu for a few seconds, searching for any signs of deceit when he found nothing but burning urgency, he lifted his head towards the nest set atop the mast, cupping a and beside his mouth he yelled "Chaika! Looks like we are going to need a bit extra!"

The white haired girl Natsu had spoken too leaned over the rail and peered down at them, she waved to show that she had heard, before a brilliant blue glow enveloped the top of the ship, the there was a loud crash and the front of the boat lifted out of the water with the sudden burst of speed, Natsu gripped the mast tightly as the boat sped forward.

"Why don't you always move like this?" Natsu asked

"It burns through Chaika's energy too quickly," Toru answered "We should be able to make it to the docks, but you will be on your own from there."

Natsu nodded "That's all I need."

'Erza you better be fighting this.'

A Few Hours Earlier…

"The rooms are empty accept for beds, just pick one." The ship's captain called over his shoulder as he left, Erza nodded rounding the next corner and walking into the first room, she fell on the bed with her forearm over her eyes, she hadn't realized how tired she was until that moment, the door creaked and she frowned lifting her head up, seeing the familiar armor of Natsu she sighed "You were supposed to stay and rest up."

No answer, she frowned "I am too tired to yell at you, just go pick a room and get some rest." Two heavy thuds told her he had walked closer to the bed, she lifted her head in annoyance and froze as a dark purple light hit her eyes, her arms wouldn't move and she was just stuck, two things quickly became apparent, the magic in the light was disabling her ability to control her own body and if it wasn't obvious enough, the man in front of her was not Natsu. At this point only her head obeyed her commands, she snarled at the figure "Let me go!"

The man waved a finger side to side, the armor melted away, leaving a dark blue trench coat and black pants, a single large curved blade strapped on his back, he had long white hair tied back in a pony tail and dark green eyes, a scar ran from just above his left eye down his cheek "Now, now calm down, I am not going to hurt you."

"Well, that's too bad I am going to hurt you when I get control of myself back." Erza growled.

"What makes you think I am going you give you control?" The man cocked his head to the side, a square of bright white light appeared behind him and expanded, the boat rocked hard as it did before the centre of the square shifted and changed, a face Erza recognized step through the door of light, the black haired purple-eyed cat girl Natsu had fought smirked at her "You haven't taken her over fully?" The girl inquired flatly.

"She is quite entertaining," The man mused, he raised his free hand and placed it on Luna's appearance began to change slowly, first her hair then her eyes and then finally her clothing, leaving a barely dressed Erza standing in the room "When her familiar shows up, kill him if you can, but more importantly don't get killed yourself."

"He is going to want to know where she is." Luna pointed out in Erza's voice.

The man tapped his chin in thought "There is no way he can stop it, so feel free to tell him, I leave it to you."

The fake Erza bowed respectfully.

"Time to go," The man turned to the real Erza, involuntarily her arms and legs pushed her up and she walked through the door into the room beyond "Good girl." He cooed, before following her through and closing the thing behind him, Erza saw the door break open as Natsu entered the room, she prayed he could tell that wasn't her quickly.

Present time, Natsu…

The boat came to a halt beside the docks of the largest of the islands, Natsu peered over the railing at the crowded dock below him, all of them wore the clothing of Gradaynia's standing forces, Chaika slumped weakly against Toru and he leaned her against the mast worriedly.

"You two have done enough," Natsu said simply, his eyes flashing slightly as he drew his swords "Just stay low for now."

Toru nodded and Natsu vaulted the railing, landing on the deck with a loud thud, he spun the weapons around in an almost figure eight pattern, the soldiers formed a rank in front of him, spears over the top of shields pointed at him menacingly the gleam of the steal in moonlight stared him down, his swords stopped and he locked the weapons along his arm as he charged, the men staggered slightly and that was all Natsu needed, as the shields split apart by only a minimal amount he jumped slamming both of his feet into the slightly weakened gap, the man holding the shield groaned as the unforgiving metal broke his arm as the force reverberated through him and sent him flying back, Natsu rolled forward spinning like a top and clearing a small circle around him, his eyes glowed dangerously as he lowered his body and let out a growl before springing off his back foot, he slammed into a man a short distance in front of him and sent him rolling backwards, Natsu spun left as a spear flew at him, he tossed his sword in a fluent flick of the wrist, sending the metal streaming forward and embedding itself in a man a small distance from him, He raised the other one and blocked the strike of another soldier, spinning on his heel he gripped the spear that had missed him and slammed his knee into the wielders stomach, as the man lurched his grip loosened and Natsu wrenched the spear free of his grasp spinning the thing around him in a wide arc, a few cries of pain were heard as the blade struck flesh, Natsu tossed his other blade with a flick, it sliced clean through the neck of a man and embedded into a crate at the edge of the dock, Natsu spun the spear in his hand like a staff, he pivoted on his back foot and brought the haft above his head as a few men cut high and a few more went low, he pushed back sliding out of the blows and dropping the spear, he kicked the haft before it hit the ground and the wood slammed into the first fours head, Natsu reached out and spun the thing in front of him sending the swords that went low clattering into the ocean before spinning again and cutting down the stunned soldiers, he heard a shout from behind him and turned his head to see a soldier rushing him, he gritted his teeth and prepared the glint of metal shot forward and wrapped around the man's wrist. pulling him away from Natsu, Toru landed behind Natsu with a thud, the man spun and locked the string currently connected to the attackers wrist and yanked as the man was pulled towards Toru the string unwound and the blade reattached to the hilt of Toru's dagger with a click, he caught the man's outstretched arm and flipped him over his shoulder and brought his other dagger down.

"Aren't you supposed to be looking after Chaika?" Natsu questioned wrenching a short sword out of a soldiers hand and punching the man in the jaw sending him staggering back before slicing him from the waist to the shoulder.

"She's fine." Toru motioned with his head and Natsu's eyes followed the line, Chaika aimed down the scope of her large and strange rifle, the barrel glowed slightly before a loud bang rang out and what seemed like an invisible rush of air pulled at Natsu's cloak it cut the line of soldiers down brutally, ripping anyone who didn't dive out of the way apart completely.

"We will handle this," Toru said flatly "You go rescue your mage."

Natsu nodded and charged forward pulling his sword free from the crate and flicking the blood from the blade before gathering the second and repeating the process of flicking the blood away and sheathing it.

Present time, Erza…

"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" A blonde man asked simply, he had a kind smile and bright blue eyes, the navy blue coat he wore had god embroidery on the shoulders and the cuffs of the sleeves, the white symbol of a sword fish leaping from water stitched into the chest, the emblem of the Southern Isles.

Erza nodded 'Wait when did they get to the Southern Isles? Last thing she remembered was laying down on the bed on Toru's boat, everything after that was blurry, I must just be dreaming.'

"It would be a pleasure for me to conduct your marriage ceremony," The blonde nodded his head with a smile "I am assuming you want it done as soon as possible?"

Erza nodded again 'Marriage ceremony? Wasn't she delivering a letter? Well it's a dream I suppose, I wonder if Natsu will be there.'

"Excellent," The blondes smile never faded "Thank you for delivering this." He held up the letter.

'So I delivered it? Then why am I getting married, why aren't we going home, where is Natsu?' A feeling of panic started to fill her system, everything felt too real to be a dream, why couldn't she question what was going on, she knew she wanted to it was like the real her was floating in a pool of water and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get out of it. Erza walked away, a smile she did not want to have plastered on her face as her mind raced, 'what happened after she laid down?' she ground her teeth together in annoyance.

She rounded the corner and a white-haired man with a pony tail, a large sword, and a scared face gave her a fake round of applause and then all the memories came back to her, she felt control of her head return to her "Why are you doing this?!" She demanded.

"I am going to destroy whatever that foolhardy Wolf could hold onto, I am going to take you all for myself." The man smiled sadistically.

"You better hope your familiar didn't tell Natsu where I am." Erza threatened.

"Even if she did, it would take days to arrive here by boat without magic to help him." The man taunted, the wide sadistic grin still on his face.

Something Chaika had said came to her mind, something about magic, Erza smirked knowingly and said nothing, the man merely cocked an eyebrow and turned around "Well, My dear you better prepare for your wedding day." He laughed almost manically as he walked away.

Erza shivered slightly 'Natsu please hurry.' She practically prayed.

Natsu darted down the street and began climbing the hill towards the cathedral, he let out a growl as he shifted back into his Human form and slammed into the door, the thing opened with a loud crack, a group of soldiers looked at him in surprise "ERZA!" Natsu shouted at the top of his lungs, the red-head at the end of the aisle froze, a white haired man with a pony tail growled and pulled the sword from his back before charging the still surprised blonde, Natsu ripped a sword from his back and sent it flying like a bullet, it hit the blade of the man's swords and the large curved blade shattered as Natsu kicked up dust charging forward, slamming into the scarred man hard, the man rolled backwards and bared his teeth at Natsu, Natsu held his remained sword out in front of him, standing in between the white haired man, Erza and the blonde boy.

"Are you two all right?" Natsu asked, without taking his eyes of the man in front of him.

"Yes, thanks to you," The blonde nodded "How did you know where we were?"

"Toru sent me," Natsu answered flatly "I think there is a little about this man you don't know, for example the battalion of Gridaynia soldiers occupying the docks of the city."

The blonde was tossed a sword and a helmet, which he pulled on quickly "I trust you to deal with him." Was all the said before marching out of the place.

The white haired man straightened "You wouldn't kill an unarmed man, would you?"

"Well, no," Natsu admitted, before the white haired man blinked and Natsu was suddenly in his ear "But you're not unarmed."

Metal clanged against the stone on the ground and the scarred man stumbled backwards, holding the hole in his stomach as blood dyed his white undershirt, Natsu cocked his head at the ring on the man's finger as he fell, walking over to it he held it up in front of him the faint purple glow didn't fade out, he dropped the small piece of jewelry and pulled the sword from the wall, raising the weapon up he brought it down on the gem, it shattered and Erza swayed before falling on her hands and knees panting heavily.

Natsu glared down at the white haired man beneath him, the man clutched weakly at his ankles, Natsu brought the sword up and put it through his head, ending the gurgling and choking noises he was making, Natsu staggered back and fell onto his back heavily, Erza's head slightly above him "We need a vacation." Natsu smirked up at the girl. She smiled warmly down at him, before leaning forward and pressing her lips against his, she rested her head on his chest.

"Thanks for coming to save me." She whispered.

He let out a small chuckle, placing a kiss on the top of her head "Anytime."

A/N: So what did you think? The ending might have been a little clichéd but I couldn't resist it :P, hope you all enjoyed and I will see you on the next one!
