My body froze. The dragon who destroyed my life. He's up there now. Why?
"What?" Lilith said. "There's so much death. I'm sure the Dragon King would want to join in on this too."
"Shut your filthy mouth!" I scowled.
Lilith remained silent. I took a moment to look at the demon as I saw it's body having all sorts of burns on it.
"What happened to you anyway?" I asked, lowering my voice.
Lilith looked at me. It took a moment for her to reply. "What?"
"Can we not go up there?" I asked.
Lilith stood up, gripping onto my wrist as she untied the ropes that contained me.
I quickly took a deep breath before I attempted to kick the demon out of instinct.
But my leg was stopped.
I felt excrutiating pain take over my whole leg as I screamed.
I screamed so loud that I couldn't even hear myself screaming anymore.
"That's better-"
"Now don't disobey me again, Anna."

~ Lucy P.O.V ~
I felt a wavering fear take over me. I saw the dragon that destroyed Tenrou Island in just a matter of minutes.
Acnologia...
He growled and filled the air with his roar. I stood in shock, not knowing what to do. My body couldn't listen to me anymore. It just remained still.
"Acnologia!" Natsu yelled. "I've got a bone to pick with you!"
"Natsu don't-!"
Natsu turned back and grinned. "Don't worry, I got this!"
I frowned. I couldn't watch this.
Not only was he unable to defeat me. There's no way he could stand a chance against Acnologia. He's just not strong enough.
"Fire dragon iron fist!" Natsu screamed, charging at the dragon before unleashing his attack.
I covered my eyes in hope that this would all just end.
This is my fault.
If I weren't such a weakling...
None of this would happen!
I stared at the ground as I felt a warm hand touch my shoulder. I turned to see Sting.
"Don't worry, we can handle this." Sting grinned.
"Yeah! Sting's right!" Lector beamed, turning to his buddy.
"Frosch thinks so too!"
"No worries, we have it under control Lucy." Rogue added.
My frown slowly faded away and before I knew it-
I was smiling.
"Don't lose hope Lucy. This is still fixable."
I held my chest tightly, standing my ground. I took a deep breath and took a moment to think. I nodded and smiled.
"You're right. We can do this!"
I gathered my strength as I glared at the dragon. Natsu wasn't doing any damage as he bounced back.
"About time you three showed up!" Natsu grinned.
"Oh come on! We did more than you could do." Sting sighed.
"Yeah!" Lector added, a sly smile plastered on his face.
The black dragon quickly came down to us, clawing us with his sharp claws. We all bounced back.
"Later with the arguing!" Rogue frowned. "We have to work together to take down Acnologia."
I nodded. "I think Rogue's right..."
Sting perked up, Natsu too.
"Let's work together, I think I have a plan!"

~ Anna P.O.V ~
I stared down as I walked alongside the demon. We were heading up and I could already feel horrendous tremors of magical power. A dark power. It was so familiar that I couldn't take it.
"Anna."
I looked up at Lilith. She was stepping violently. We were at a dead end. Well, not exactly though. There was a trapdoor above us.
I stood in silence, waiting for her to open it up. But to my surprise, she began to shout.
"Anna!"
I gasped. "What?!"
"Open the door!" She hissed, gesturing to the trapdoor.
"I know, I know!" I scowled. "I'll hurry up then..."
I sighed, opening the trapdoor as I reached out into the world. I hopped out of the hole as I looked up at the sky.
It wasn't sky blue. It was pitch black. The moon was red and shining onto the ground, the only source of light.
We were just outside of the arena where the Grand Magic Games are held.
I saw the black dragon flying over the arena, magic resonating from the arena. It looked as if he were fighting.
"It looks like the wizards have encountered the dragon." Lilith sighed. "I thought we could've possibly beaten them."
"Your objective is?" I looked at her.
"None of your business," Lilith scoffed.
I was taken aback by her sudden rudeness. Though I should've seen it coming.
"I see," I looked down. "But I don't understand. All you want is the demon gate keys."
I paused for a moment, hesitating. "So why do all of this? There's no need to in the first place..."
Lilith gritted her teeth angrily. "You're being awfully comfortable."
My eyes widened as Lilith gripped onto my shirt, pulling me in.
"Look, Anna." She glared. "None of that concerns you! Be a good little girl and follow me! You're being a nuisance."
"Then answer my question!" I growled.
Lilith arched a brow. "This is ridiculous. Why are you curious?"
I smirked. "So what? Aren't all humans curious?"
"Don't try fool me little girl."
"Answer my question already." I frowned. I really didn't want to repeat myself.
"Will you shut your damn mouth?! I'm waiting for someone and I'm losing my patience!"
I jerked out of her grip and dusted myself off. I grinned. "Who is that someone?"
***
"Aether Dragon Roar!"
"White Dragon Roar!"
"Sky Dragon Roar!"
"Iron Dragon Roar!"
"Shadow Dragon Roar!"
"Fire Dragon Roar!"
We all unleashed our attacks on Acnologia. However, Acnologia was only hit by three of our attacks. Sting's, Rogue's and my attack. The rest missed as Acnologia was able to dodge it.
Acnologia was scratched as he scowled.
"Give it up, low lives." Acnologia said. "You weak dragon slayers could never defeat me."
"What'd you say?!" Natsu screamed, unleashing yet another one of his attacks.
"Dragneel..." Acnologia said. "How lovely to meet your aquaintance! Zeref has spoken a number about you!"
"The hell with that!" Natsu retaliated. "Fire dragon iron fist!" He screamed, coming up as he attacked Acnologia.
"Natsu, stop!" Rogue yelled.
"Aether Dragon Secret Arts-"
I inhaled and exhaled before preparing myself.
"Heave's Drill!" I screamed.
A shining light was cast from the sky as it fell down to Acnologia, making a huge light beam.
The light was shining even brighter than ever. I smiled.
I think it's about time I use this spell I learnt. I don't care if it'll knock me out for days. I need to end this.
"'O heavens, lend me your strength. Give me the power of God and have all faith in me. Heavens transcend down to Earth and give me the power to fight against all forces!"
"Aether Dragon Secret Arts: Aether's Curse!"
