THIRD PERSON'S POV

NO ONE is making a move - they keep on staring on each other but their power keeps on increasing. Lucy on the other hand feels the heavy feeling but what caught her attention is the pain that mirrored in Luna's eyes.

"N-Natsu?" Lucy whispered.

Natsu turned his head a little to took a glance to Lucy who's looking on him worriedly - it's like she wants to say something but she can't put in the words, but when his eyes landed to Luna he say wants she wanted to say. Luna is in love with this guy who almost hurt her.

"You need to go in some safety place, Lucy." he said almost a whisper.

Lucy open her mouth to answered to object but Nashi said "Hikaru and I will handle this, Papa and Mama."

"What? I can't let you fight alone. I want to fight too." Natsu said frowning.

"But Uncle Natsu. The safety of Aunt Lucy is much important than this." Hikaru said before looking to Natsu and to Lucy. He smile "I promise that I'll protect your daughter."

"Noooo.. I rather got hurt than leave you here." Lucy yell. She doesn't want to leave her daughter on her back. It's pain her. Nashi smile to her that caught Lucy off guard.

"I won't let you die again, Mama. I won't..." she says - Lucy finally understand that just like Natsu - her daughter is scared to lost her for the second time.

"Nashi..."

"Enough with your drama. I just need Hope, give her to me." Zian said while looking to Luna's face "We will be together, Hope. And to make it happen I'm gonna kill your master."

"I won't let you do that." Nashi and Natsu said angrily.

"I won't let you kill my mother." Nashi said and then on the blink of an eye she's in front of Zian "Roar of the fire dragon!"

"You can't kill me using those weak magic." Zian said smirking before making his magic stronger than before. Nashi smile and then blow a punch on his face - making Zian hit his back on the rock. Nashi dash towards him but been blows away when Zian do cast a spell that makes the entire place burning on fire.

Nashi smirk "Fire doesn't effect on me, you know." Nashi raised her hand and in just a blink of an eye - she ate all the fire. Zian smirk making Nashi frowned and the next thing they knew Nashi vomit bloods which make her eyes wide and confused. "What the..."

"Nashi..." Hikaru jump on her when Nashi fell on her knees "What happen?"

Hikaru cast some healing magic to Nashi "You bastard..." Nashi said angrily. "What... What kind of fire is that?"

"My fire contains poison that will surely kill you." Zian said. "You can't use any healing magic to remove that poison in your body. Only my dead will save you from dead." Nashi feel fear for the first on her body - which she tried so hard to mask by her smirk "After I'm done with you, I will kill Lucy Heartfilia." he said.

NASHI'S POV

My fear vanished into thin air and replaced by my anger towards this guy. How could he plan to hurt my mother? Zian launched attacked towards me and I jump so easily to dodge his attack but before I knew it he jump much higher than me and then blow a punch in my stomach.

I yelp, when I felt my back hit the ground hard. "Can you feel it? Can you feel the poison slowly killing you inside?" he asked me laughing.

He throws another punch hitting my stomach again. I cried - and then picking me up using my hair - he throw me in mid-air and cast another spell. It's a white arrow that he uses to Luna before we came. "Die." My legs tensed. I couldn't jump sideways, so I leaped straight up, kicking off from the Zian's head, using it as a springboard, turning in midair, and landing on his neck.

I don't know where I get the chance to kick him but it just that - the time itself stop for a moment. Milliseconds later, I saw Zian on the other side of the river - removing the bloods on his mouth. "Nashi." I look on my side where I could see Hikaru running towards me.

"Why didn't you help me?" I shouted on her.

Hikaru roll his eyes "I did."

"You did? I almost kill by him. Good thing, I launched a kick on him." my voice trail off when I realize something. I don't have chance a while ago. That's right the time itself stop making an opportunity for me to kick him. "Did you stop the time?"

He roll his eyes again for the last time "Of course, I won't allow him to kill you. Uncle Natsu will surely kill me." he made face and say something that hard for me to decipher. I was about to ask another question when a loud thud echoed in the entire city. "Stay behind me, Nashi." he said before pulling me on his back.

"I can still fight." I yell.

He shot me his glare "With that condition? Didn't you hear him that there's a poison inside your body that will kill you slowly. I will kill him before he kills you, Nashi. I will do it even I beat my own life to save you."

I blink twice - looking on like he turn into freaking monster; I want to say something but nothing comes out on my lips. It's like his eyes are telling me not to say anymore. It's like...

Hikaru is the master of my body. Which I don't know if it's possible?

"I'll fight for you, Nashi."
