It's time to shake things up once again Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm breaking the mold yet again with this one. A completely new story that'll be focused on both Natsu's and Lucy's lives through their messy break-up as partner's and friend's. Will the two repair the bonds they once shared or will their guild mates see this as the opportunity to change everything? Without further adu lets get started!
It was business as usual at the FairyTail Guild. The place was filled with the typical brawls, alcohol consumption and shenanigans it was famous for. It was a loud and boisterous scene and everyone was enjoying themselves. The party seemed like it could've gone on forever and with the fun they were having it could have but the guild doors soon swung open as a pink haired boy, a curvaceous blond women and blue cat entered with the two mages having angry looks on their faces.
Some of their friends tried to call them over in celebration but the two seemed entirely in their own world, ignorant to the jubilant atmosphere the guild had.
"Dammit Luce, I already said I'm sorry. It wasn't like I meant to burn down half the town" Natsu huffed to his partner unapologetically which caused Lucy Heartfillia to face palm in frustration.
"How does that even happen? We spent a full week in some tiny godforsaken village doing a mission and in the end all that reward money goes down the drain because you're dumb enough to just blow everything up to catch one guy! And this isn't even the first time you've done this! How am I supposed to pay rent if every mission I go on with you end's with us having to give up the reward money to pay for all the damages!" Lucy ranted out loud. The once party heavy guild was now quieting down as they watch the argument escalate in-front of their eyes.
"Hey Lu-chan it's all …." Levy tried to say something to calm her friend down but Natsu and Lucy ignored her as Natsu fired back.
"What the hell did you want me to do? Let him go? I did what was needed to get the mission done. What more do you want from me?"
"I want you to act like an adult and not destroy a whole damn town to catch one guy! What's the point of bragging about being such a strong wizard if you can't control your own damn magic dumbass!" she yelled back in anger. At this point in time the entire guild seemed to realize this wasn't a conversation they should let continue.
"Hey flame-brain why don't you come over her so I can kick your ass" Grey challenged trying to provoke the dragonslayer into fighting him, getting him away from his argument with Lucy.
"And Lucy why don't you come by the bar to discuss your mission with me?" Mira asked sweetly trying to do the same as Grey. Unfortunately, the two best friend's were so enraged that they didn't hear a thing.
"Why am I always the dumb one? Is it because I don't listen to all your whining and complaining? Or is it because I don't read books like you? Do you think you're special because you read books or something? Because news flash! You're not! And all those Ex-boyfriends you've had is proof of that" he sniped back leaving Lucy grinding her teeth in anger.
"What does that have anything to do with how smart I am! I'm just trying to find the one I'm destined to end up with! Not like you'd understand or anything! You're so dumb you don't even know what love is! I doubt you can even read properly at this point in your life which is just another reason I pity you! But don't worry I'm sure you'll realize all this when you end up forever alone in that crappy shed you call a house and knowing you, it'll probably burn down because you can't control your own damn magic!" She replied viciously which stung Natsu a bit.
"Ohh I'm so sure that'll happen but don't worry Luce in the end of the day my magic saves lives! You know like it saved you from Phantom Lord Guild, or Erza at the Tower of Heaven, hell it's saved most of the people in this guild at some point. And what does your magic do? It flirts with you, sexually harasses you, one of them hates you, another is a masochist and the rest are all pretty much useless. That's one of the reasons I pity you, your magic isn't on my level, and to be honest it isn't even on the level below it. I don't event now why you're on the strongest team in Fairy Tail but we all know you shouldn't! " He spiked back causing a bunch of ohhhs to leave the mouths of the mages watching.
"I'm stopping this now, it's gone too far!" Erza demanded as she made her way to her two teammates. She couldn't stand by anymore, if she let this continue it'd not only ruin their team but their friendship would never recover. She made her way through the crowd of mages before she felt someone grab her shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.
"Erza wait, let's see how this plays out" Master Makarov instructed, stunning Erza.
"But master…" she didn't finish as he just pointed to Lucy as Erza watched.
Lucy hadn't said anything yet as her hair shaded her eyes and her hands were clenched into fists with veins popping out.
"What did you say about my magic" she asked as calmly as possible, clearly trying to keep her composure in-check.
"Ohh I'm sorry did I hurt your feelings? Oh no, don't tell me you're going to get all depressed and leave this guild now? Maybe you'll go join Sabertooth and fall in love with someone their and live happily ever after. Or maybe you'll learn that you're a dragonslayer too and then train for a month and become stronger that me!" Natsu laughed at his jokes before Lucy pushed her hair up glaring daggers into the dragonslayer.
"I should leave the guild? More like you should leave this guild you pink haired bastard!" she snapped back leaving Natsu and the entire guild stunned as she continued.
"Think about it, if you weren't so stupidly stronger no one here would ever be your friend! No one would put up with your childish attitude and nobody would even pay attention to you! They'd have kicked you out a long time ago if you weren't a dragonslayer! So you should go and actually try to find Igneel and thank him for raising you because without him you'd just be known as an idiot with pink hair!"
"That's not true!" Natsu denied but Lucy continued.
"And I might not be the most powerful mage but at least I'm improving! Finding different types of gate keys, being able to use multiple keys at once, making sure they stay open longer, hell I was even able to summon the god damn Spirit-King to fight for me and save everyone here! And what about you? You've been using the exact same moves since the first day I met you! Have you even added a new attack to your arsenal since then? All your fights are the same, you get your ass kicked for twenty minutes then you do your five signature moves and you win! And when that's not enough you get a cheap short-term power up from someone else and then talk about friendship and win! That's not strength that's luck and bullshit stupid. So maybe you're stronger now but just wait until I surpass you! Then will see who's weaker and by the way that day's coming soon Pinky" she antagonized menacingly to the dragonslayer who was at his wits end.
"Lucy I don't normally hit girls but you're one word away from being sent flying" he threatened but again Lucy showed no signs of backing down.
"Funny, I was about to say the same thing" she replied which brought the same ohhs from earlier back.
"You wanna try and act cool in-front of everybody fine but we're done as partners and I'm kicking you off my team!" Natsu suddenly announced making the ohhs change into gasps of shock and astonishment but Lucy wouldn't be out done.
"Ohh don't worry about that because we aren't best friends anymore, we aren't even friends! You stay the hell away from me and my house from now on!" she exclaimed back, both basically out of breath from their fight.
"Done! Don't come back begging to me when you realize you can't make it out their without me there to save you" he growled, turning around to leave the guild.
"Haha sure, whatever helps you sleep at night" she spat heading toward the bar as their friends looked on in terror, shocked by the sudden split of the two closest people in the guild.
"So that went terribly, what do we do now?" Grey asked while Erza glared threateningly at Makarov who seemed to be sweating bullets at the moment.
"Ahh, love and hate are two sides of the same coin child. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll both be back to their usual selves by tomorrow" Makarov insisted.
"They better" Erza growled before happy butted in.
"Ahh they'll be fine they both just need to get laid" he said casually which brought the ire of Erza who then dropped kicked the blue cat out of the guild.
The game has officially changed. The once unbreakable team has parted ways in a most devastating fashion. How will this change the guild they both love in the future? Will their friends helped them make-up or will personal agenda's get in the way?
