It was a rare and peaceful morning in the Guildhall of Fairytail. Lucy sat at one of the many large tables scattered along the guild. Levy, Erza, Bisca, Lisanna, Cana, and Juvia were seated at the table of as well. Gray, Elfman, Romeo, Max, and Warren sat at a table by the bar talking to Macao, Wakaba, and Gildarts, who arrived two days ago, who were by the bar.
Happy sat with Carla and Pantherlily the three Exceeds focused on Lucy as she laughed at something Juvia said.
"Carla, are you sure about what you saw?" asked Happy. "Lucy is strong but.…"
"I know, but it is what I saw it didn't feel like any of my other visions though."
"Perhaps it was only a dream." Pointed out Pantherlily.
"Yes, I guess your right." Carla replied. "It must have been a silly dream. Speaking of silly, tomcat, you seemed to show up without Natsu?" Redirected Carla.
"Yeah, well I got up before even the sun came out and couldn't fall back to sleep, I didn't want to disturb Natsu, so I left him a note and came in the guild through a window. Master and Mira were sure surprised to see me here before them. I might do that again it was fun helping Mira get this place ready." Smiled Happy. He looked over to Wendy as she seemed to be a focused on her latest entry in her new sketch pad she had got last week from Porlyusica. She seemed to be drawing a very familiar pattern, a pattern that seemed to be somewhat familiar but for some strange reason Happy couldn't place where he knew it from. Happy turned back to his fellow Exceeds. "So, Carla Wendy seems to be in a very good mood lately Do you know why?" asked a curious Happy. Carla shook her head she went to open her mouth when the guild hall door's burst open as Natsu rushed in.
"Great, everybody is here I got us a great job that pays well. Check it out the Reward is 7,000,000 Jewels, now come on." He said then he ran over to Lucy yanking her out of her chair and the conversation she was having with Juvia. "
"Sorry Juvia we'll finish our conservation later." Apologized Lucy to the water mage. "Natsu will you wait a moment." She complained.
"No way I'm all fired up." He grinned never halting in his rush to get going. "Hurry up Wendy, Gray, Erza, Carla, and Happy let's go." He yelled as he bolted out the door pulling a protesting Lucy behind him. Happy and Carla said farewell to Pantherlily and joined the rest of their team as they rushed after the Reckless Natsu.

"Ow, ow, ow." Shouted Natsu as Lucy pulled another quill out from his leg.
"Natsu we told you if you stopped moving it wouldn't hurt as much." Scolded Erza.
"Why does it have to hurt at all?" Wailed Natsu.
"You wouldn't be in this mess if you just listen to us flame for brains." Nudged Gray.
"How was I supposed to know that he had quills underneath its cloak." Defended Natsu.
"Natsu even I know the answer to that." Said Happy. "It was all in his nickname, why do you think they called him the porcupine thief?" Asked the blue Exceed. Team Natsu had just finished up a job to catch a thief that had been terrorizing the nearby towns. To Lucy's great relief there was not much destruction, that meant that none of their reward money would have to be used for repairs. The reward would be enough to pay for the next few months' rent, as well as give Lucy a large spending budget for shopping.
"Ow." Screamed Natsu as Lucy plucked the final quill from his leg.
"My area is done." She reported.
"I am almost done as well, there is just one more quill left." Replied Erza, an evil glint taking over her face as Gray and Lucy noticed where the final quill was.
"Thank goodness it's almost over." Bellowed Natsu. "Erza hurry-OWWWW." Roared Natsu as Erza removes the final quill from its place. He whirled around as his teammates snickered.
"Here comes Wendy and Carla now." Observed Erza, as the rest of Team Natsu saw the two heading their way as the White exceed and sky Dragonslayer were sent to collect the reward. "Did you have any trouble Wendy, Carla?" Asked Erza to the two.
"No, there was no problem." Cheerfully replied Wendy.
"Good, we should get going now." Replied Erza.
"We should get back to Magnolia before this evening if we head to Redwood station." Inputted Lucy. "It's not too far from where we are now."
"All right, let's get going." Called Erza. The group set off towards the direction Redwood station would be. They only had to walk a few miles before they reach the outpost station known as Redwood, which was an in-between station, between Magnolia and Hargeon.
They only had to wait 15 minutes before the train heading to Magnolia had arrived. As Ezra's many pieces of luggage were loaded by the train station staff the team boarded the train walking from train car to train car till they found an empty car. Natsu had slumped down already feeling motion sick before the train had even started to move.
"I'm dying." Huffed Natsu as the conductor announced that the train would be leaving momentary and that there should be no other stops.
"Lucy how many months rent will your portion of the reward be spent on?" Asked Wendy.
"Well it would be enough for 10 months rent and 200,000 Jewel for food. But I think I'll keep 200,000 jewel for food but instead of 10 months rent I'm only going to do 5 months, that way I have 400,000 Jewel for shopping." Lucy answered.
"That's awesome Lucy, do you think you'll buy a new key?" Wendy asked just as the train started to move and began its trip to Magnolia. An hour had past as the group continued to chat with the exception of Natsu who groaned in agony.
"Seriously, you need to get over this motion sickness crap, match head." Prodded Gray. A comment like that would usually get the two boys fighting each other if Natsu wasn't suffering from his motion sickness.
Just then the group heard one of the doors that led to another car open and footsteps approached the group. A man with short jet-black hair stood before them. He was wearing a dark grey business suit and a light grey tie. He seemed to be wearing a Black dress shirt underneath, but it was unclear to tell exactly due to the suit's jacket. His eyes were brown and were bleak and lethargic.
"Can we help you, sir?" Asked Erza as she immediately went on guard at the arrival of the man.
"I am looking for Lucky Lucy Heartfilla." grunted the man. His answer immediately set everyone on edge at the use of Lucy's debutante nickname. He scanned the faces of the Fairytail members until his eyes settled on Lucy. "I will be taking Miss Heartfilla with me." He declared as he extended his hand to grab Lucy's arm but backed off when Erza pointed one of her swords at foolish man's throat. Gray stood up and got in between the man and Erza, as he sent a glare to the unknown man.
"I'm afraid that won't be happening." Said Gray getting into his usual stance to attack with his ice maker magic.
"I've waited too long to get revenge on that pesky feline, I won't let anyone stand in my way of destroying Leo." The man growled. He sprung forward his nails becoming dark black talons aimed for the celestial mage. Lucy wasted no time evading his attack as she propelled over the back of her seat by doing a back flip. Erza surged forward to attack the mystery man, but he hurled himself after Lucy slashing his talons at her, she dodged landing in the aisle her whip in hand. Erza, Gray, and Wendy quickly coming to her side to aid her. Carla and Happy had their wings out, both hovering on either side of Lucy's head in case they needed to fly the blonde away for a quick escape. Natsu struggled to stand due to his motion sickness.
"Mind telling us what's your problem with Lucy?" Demanded Gray as frost seeped from his hands. Somewhere along the scuffle, the man lost his jacket displaying a black sleeveless button-down shirt which has a two or three small rips. He ripped off his grey tie showing the shirt had no collar. Hugging his right upper arm was a red metal studded band. His eyes were cold and spiteful instead of dull and distant gaze he had before.
"She ruined everything when she saved that mangey tabby from dying destroying the only time that stupid moggy would be able to die. So, since he can't die killing her is the next best thing. Her death would crush his heart that another one of his master's deaths was connected towards him." The man snarled. His answer raising the hackles on Lucy.
"You wanted Loke to die." She growled as she emitted a dark aura.
"Leo is a pathetic disgrace for a celestial spirit, he refused to make a contract with me. He even dared to pretend to be a human, he's a pawn to be controlled, a slave to be used." Barked the man.
"She is going to blow." Warned Happy as her team scrambled away to safety has Lucy emitted a powerful wave of white raging furry that was intensely felt by all of her celestial spirits. But only one spirit burrowed deeper to uncover the fear that was previously felt by Lucy. Concerned for Lucy the spirit opened their own gate to check on her and to aid her in battle if need be.
"How dare you. I'll have you know celestial spirits aren't tools their living beings. I consider all my spirits to be my friends." Lucy spat towards the man.
It was then that Loke appeared surveying the situation. The scene before him left in a state of confusion, shock, and anger. Lucy was yelling at a man he never expected to see again, Tokel Drabek.
"You derelict Bitch. Celestial spirits are only serfs, they have no opinion their only purpose is to be buffers in battles and to carry out their possessor's will." He unexpectedly attacked catching Lucy off guard. His talons slashed across her abdomen with a deep cut, Lucy fell from the blow. He seemed proud of striking her down her blood starting to escape the wound falling on the train compartment floor. Loke was on her side in a flash and was joined by Wendy as she tried to heal her blonde friend.
The train came to a sudden stop as Erza pulled the emergency brake while Gray sent an ice messenger to call for help from the guild as well as telling them to have Porlyusica to get here fast. With the train no longer moving Natsu was able to fight.
"Now I am fired up you'll pay for what you did to Lucy." He screamed. The conductor had rushed in only to have Erza tell him to evacuate the train.
"You don't actually think that I came alone did you." Laughed the man as he was soon joined by what seemed like members of a dark guild.
"You are a fool if you think fairy tail will let you get away with this." Bellowed Erza. No sooner did she say this the left side of the train's wall was ripped open by the claws of Mirajane's she-devil form and she wasn't alone. Pantherlily lowered Porlyusica to the ground. She rushed over to join Loke and Wendy and knelt by Lucy. Gajeel seemed to have hitched a ride with Mirajane. Freed's dark wings disappeared as he joined the others.
"We got you message Gray the others are coming." Freed Intoned.
"You tried to kill Lucy, prepare to suffer Fairytail's wrath." Mirajane said as she curled in her fist. One of the members sent a flare up in the sky creating a large black spark in the sky. The right side of the train's wall was ripped away revealing thousand more members of the supposed Dark Guild.
"Your Guild is outnumbered, we are the Dark Guild, Arcane of Obsidian. Tartaros was our spawn. I am second in command and a descendant of Deliora. I am known as Shards, Slasher of the Falling Sky. Real name though is Tokel." Smiled Lucy's attacker. "We know that your Guild's master is far away, and won't make it in time to help. You have no chance."
"That may be true that my old man isn't here," Called a voice as lightning struck the ground as Laxus.
"But we are still here." Continued Gildarts as, father and daughter landing next to their friends. Max, Warren, Laki, Evergreen, Bixlow, Elfman, Lisanna soon joined the rest of the members right behind them.
"TERROR SLICE." Called an angry female voice as jet black daggers flew at Shards who leaped out of the way his face contorted in frustration and anger.
"I recognize that attack and power." Shards sneered. "I Know of only one person with that type of magic, My own daughter." Levy McGarden stepped forward aiming a glare filled with pure hatred at the man.
"Hello, dad." She spat her tone drenched in cutting acid.
