‘Oh no! Natsu!!’ In a split second, Lucy races to his side. No hesitation. No concern for her own well-being, and despite her friends or the town around them, in that moment all she could think of was him. Get to Natsu. Stop Natsu. Save Natsu... from himself.
She was all too familiar with what could happen when the power inside of him takes over. It wasn’t Natsu anymore, but the demon and all of its vice. But he was in there, and she could stop him. Lucy didn’t know why, or how she knew, but she did. She was the one person who could send or save his soul.
Call it what you will. Their close relationship, years of friendship, or a bond that has never been broken no matter how dire the tests thrown in their path. He would do anything for her and she for him, including risk their lives.
Lucy wraps her arms around him. It burns! But she refuses to give in and only holds on tighter, focusing in on her objective. Natsu. “Natsu stop!”
Even as her stardress begins to burn away or skin grew singed and red, she holds on. She didn’t know how much longer she could, the heat of Ignia’s flames were so much more hotter than Natsu’s. She begs with all her heart and soul to reach him, her Natsu inside this possessed version.
As their friends look on with a mixture of horror and relief, the scorching flames slowly dwindle from his arms, and the tension in his body subsides. They watch Natsu’s eyes revert from white nothingness back to his normal self. Natsu’s knees buckle, taking them both to the ground.
Pain racks every inch of her frame. Her skin pinched and cracked, sluffing on her face. She hears the cries and footfalls of their friends racing over, feels Wendy’s gentle healing touch bringing needed relief. Lucy breathes out for the first time since she’d latched onto Natsu. Everything would be okay.
