"I thought that Fairy Tail was the strongest guild in Fiore! What a shame I was expecting better from you Slamander of Fairy Tail. Now the time has come to end your existence!" Yelled Xiang the leader of the dark guild Shallow Abyss. The said mage closed his eyes preparing for the impact. He opened his eyes when he heard "Natsu no!" he saw a flash of blonde running towards Xiang. "Lucy!" Before she could turn around she disapeared along with Xiang. He forgot that bastard has teleportation magic. That is what made this mission S-class after all. He heard a high pitched scream that he new belonged to his partner. Just then Gray and Erza ran into the room he was in. Erza carried Happy in her arms. "Natsu what was that scream?" asked Erza. Before he could answer another was heard. Natsu sprung to his feet with new found energy and began following her scent. "Erza asked you what the hell that was!" yelled Gray trying to catch up to him. "Its Lucy damn it! Hurry up we have to save her!" she was on the top floor that's where her scent led him to. "Stop! Please! Natsu Erza! Gray! Please help me!" They could see the door, but it was closing. A few feet away was their beloved friend dying in front of their eyes covered in her own blood.
When she saw them approaching she reached a shaky hand out to them before the door slammed shut. "LUCY!" Yelled all three mages. Natsu crashed into the door hitting it non stop. Gray was frozen to his spot while Erza was shaking. They could hear a sickening voice laughing along with blood curling screams. Blood. That was all he could smell. Her blood. "You saved the fire wizards life, so I shall take yours instead!" That was accompanied by a deafening "NOO!" Then the scream fell silent. More laughter followed. Blood flowing beneath the door. When Natsu was finally able to blast the door open he caught a glimpse of the man with his sword buried in Lucy's lifeless body then he was gone and so was Lucy.
"Now to dispose of this body." was the last thing they heard from the man. The only thing left was blood. No one could have survived with that much blood loss and they all new it. They had seen her lifeless form before their very eyes. Natsu fell to his knees screaming in anguish and sadness. Gray was slamming his fists on the wall with tears streaming down his face his knuckles now bloody. Erza was hugging an unconscious Happy crying even from her artificial eye. They all new one thing which was in their minds at that moment.
Lucy's dead. We couldn't save her.
He could hear her screams. They kept him up at night. When he slept he would see her die all over again. Well in his dreams he saw her die, and when he reached for her lifeless body she would disappear. His light, his everything was gone. He couldn't protect her. Everyday and every night he had to remind himself that she was no longer there. That he would no longer see her beautiful smile. His Lucy was dead.
When they got home from their failed mission they didn't speak. When they entered the guild they were greeted with cheers and applause until Levy spoke up, "Where's Lu-chan?" The guild member started whispering amongst themselves. Natsu crumpled to the floor, Gray fell on his knees, Erza stood even though she was crying too. Levy caught on the fastest and began to cry into the chest of the iron dragon slayer. Someone said "What's goin' on where's Lucy?" "Where is Ma-master?" asked Erza with a shaky voice. They had never seen Erza look so vulnerable. Some other guild members caught on and began to cry. "What happened children?" said the Master once he walked out of his office. "Where is Lucy?" "Sh-she's-" "SHE'S DEAD!" interrupted salamander he then burst into tears again. "Wh-what? That is not possible! Wha-how?" This time Gray spoke "He killed her, he didn't even leave her body." The master was now crying. "Love-rival..." The guild started flooding thanks to Juvia but nobody cared at that moment. One of their nakama was gone, never returning.
As the months went by the guild was slowly returning to usual after a year. Gray didn't really strip that often and Erza ate less cake. Natsu always went on jobs whether it was by himself or with the team. He had to pay Lucy's rent, it was the only piece of her he had left. Gray and Erza did help though, when Lucy died they had planned on disbanding but then came to the resolution that she would want all of them together and Wendy was now a permanent on the team. At this moment they were all at the guild when master spoke up "Team Natsu I need you for a very important mission from the council." They all looked over to him and he signaled them to follow him into his office.
Once they were inside he closed the door and continued "There is a dark guild who has become very powerful. They kidnapp people and steal their riches, or they target them and ambush them. They have been destroying other dark guilds as well. That is how they got to the top of the list. Thanks to Hibiki's archive magic we were able to get descriptions of them but even his magic couldn't find pictures of them so we will work with what we have. There are six members. Three male and three female. One male and female are identical so we assume they are twins. They have brown hair and green eyes with average body types. One of the other males has black hair with blue eyes, taller than the others but still average body type. The other has red hair with gray eyes, a more built body type, but not that of Elfman. One female has purple hair with blue eyes, shorter than the rest, average body type. Lastly the other female."
He paused and looked up for a brief moment before continuing "Average height, blonde hair, brown eyes, feminine features exceed those of the other female members." He stopped reading and looked up again. All the members of team Natsu's eyes were wide. Wendy spoke "That sounds just like Lucy-san..." "Yes my child I am afraid so and since we have no photograph the council told me to tell you that her appearance might as well match hers. Have in mind that just because her description is similar to that of Lucy's she most likely will not have her appearance. We do not know what magic they have since the only people whom have fought them do not remember. You are to leave early tomorrow to the town of Bosco. That is where they were last seen. Please be careful." They all nodded and walked out of his office. One person fresh in their minds.
Lucy.
