"That's alright. You can stay here", the last voice she heard was crystal clear to her.

She opened her eyes instantly and tried to see if she's right.

There, stood her familiar pink ruffled dress. A ribbon that fits perfectly to her head; Her amber orbs which she grows so familiar with and a smile that fits perfectly to her beautiful face.

"Lucy", she smiled.

"M...Mom?", Lucy muttered with tears streaming down her flushed face.

"That thing is too troublesome for its own good", Makarov grunted. They're currently engaged in battle with Master Ender.

"Hey Gramps.....", Natsu said without looking at him. He's clearly looking straight to the machine Lucy's strapped in.

"What is it my boy?", Makarov asked.

"That machine is making a strange light since the last attack", Natsu said.

"What?", Makarov looked and noticed the unfamiliar blinking light as well.

"I swear that was not there before", Natsu said as he jumped off when Ender tried to attack him.

"What do you think?", Makarov asked.

"I don't know but I sure don't like Lucy's color", Natsu gritted his teeth in anger. Surely Lucy must be feeling unwell but she rest uncaring as wever as she's drawn into the machine so much.

"We must separate her from that machine as early as we can", Makarov said.

"Aye sir", Natsu imitated Happy's cat phrase.

"This thing's not budging", Jura groaned.

The rest of the wizards who were able to fight are currently outside the room where Natsu, Makarov, Lucy and Master Ender are.

"This is a magic barrier. Probably a lot stronger than Tetsu's", Reina said.

"They still have this kind of thing with all this happening", Jellal said.

"I don't think this was set up by the ones we fought earlier", Elizabeth said.

"What do you mean?", Arthur asked.

"Barriers like this are usually set up by Rune magic. This one's different", Elizabeth pointed to the hollow ground.

"Yes. If this barrier wasn't set up by Rune magic then.....", Levy tipped her chin.

"This must be created by a wizard who specializes in barrier magic", Tidus said.

"Whoever set the barrier up must still be in here somewhere and he's not making everything so easy", Laxus said.

"Well, we're having troubles here ourselves", Sarina slumped to the ground. The machine inside is sucking their magic powers and now that they're so close, it's taking up everything so fast.
