I got all of my ideas from reading "Remembering our Fairy Tail."

Chapter 1

Natsu POV

It's been two years since Lucy left the guild. I don't even know why she left. I remember crying for months after she disappeared. My nightmares always came back to haunt me. It's your fault she left. You were the reason. You love her but still ignored her because Lisanna came back. You ignored her for two months. Lucy was crying. You erased her entire existence.

Natsu shot up from his hammock and flipped onto the floor with Happy down in front of him. "Sorry there bud. Had a bad dream…" Natsu whispered with a sad tone.

"It's ok Natsu." Happy slowly begun to to stand up and scratch the back of his head. "What were you dreaming about anyway that made us flip over?" Happy said, still hurting because he hit the back of his head. "I was dreaming about fish and ughhhhhhhhh they looked so good~" he said, desperately with his eyes hungry for fish

"Luce…"

"Oh." A sorrowful look rushed onto Happy's face. "Do you think she will come back to us?" Happy cried, despairing.

"I believe she'll come back to us buddy. She'd never leave her family lying around," Natsu stuttered. Tears began forming under his eyes.

He walked over to his board of his memories, while tears flowed down his face. He stared at the pictures of him and Lucy during missions. Memories rushed back into his head. He looked at her face; her smile meant the world to him. When she smiled, she always made him feel happy. For some reason, he felt like she wasn't gonna come back.

Natsu eyed at the coffee colored board, scanning at all the memories. He remember all of them like they all happened yesterday. From now on, you are officially a part of our team. He laugh at that memory and begun scanning again. He stopped at the letter she composed for him before she left.

Dear Natsu,

It was the best time of my life when you invited me to Fairy Tale. I met my second favorite family because of you. I met you, my bestfriend, and my brothers and sisters because of you and I am grateful for that. If you feel upset reading this, it wasn't your fault. You were simply telling the truth that I was weak, and dragging the team down. No Lucy. I don't remember telling you that. You're the strongest person I know and I love you for it.

That is why I concluded to leaving the guild for a couple of years. I want to get stronger on my own. I hate that I have to fully depend on others, having people to protect me because I'm weak. I hate that I can't even fight by your side. When I come back, I promise you, I will be strong. So please take care Natsu. And take care of the women you love, Lisanna. I never got to tell you I love you.

Your best-friend

-Lucy Heartfilia

He stared at the very last three words. I love you. He was so stupid. Why didn't he tell her? "I never loved Lisanna, Lucy. It was always you." he mumbled to himself with sadness and anger in his tone. Hot tears streamed down his face to the edge of his chin, dripping to his vest. He was angry at himself, so being so foolish.

1 hour later…

Natsu walked in the loud guild hall, along with Happy. Apparently, the guys were fighting about someone taking a plate of bacon.

"Are you ok Natsu?" Happy asked.

"Yeah bud. I'm alright." Natsu replied, trying to force a smile. He walked over to the empty bar, except for Cana, jugging down a barrel of alcohol. "Hey Mira."

"Yeah Natsu. What do you want to order today?" Mira asked, happily while clean a small glass cup.

"Can you get me a small plate of bacon, please?" he uttered, sadly.

"Awww. What's wrong Natsu? I thought the word 'small' wasn't in your brain. You

normally order large plates of food this time of day," she somewhat ask complaining.

"I don't feel like eating a lot today," Natsu muttered while arching his back so he

could lay the side of his head on the counter.

"Natsu isn't feeling well today Mira," Happy interrupted, remembering Natsu staring

at the letter this morning.

"Alright then. I'll cook up some bacon," Mira put down the cup she was cleaning and

started to cook some bacon. Natsu mentally thanked Happy for interrupting the conversation because he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Wassup fire-princess." Grey walked over to the counter, in his underwear, and leaned on the counter.

"Put some clothes on, Grey." Natsu growled, sounding irritated. Gray was surprised that Natsu didn't counter him.

"Whatever flame-brain. Anyway, we got a job to do. A town a couple hours away ask us to take down a dark guild that has been inhabiting the town. It's called Black Death. Me, you, Erza and Lisanna on the job. The reward is two million jewel." he said, holding up the flier.

"What about Happy?"

"Sorry Natsu. I already promised I would go on a job with Wendy, Carla, and Romeo."

"Alright whatever." Natsu said, depressed.

"Aye!"

"We leave in an hour and thirty."

Lucy POV

"Contact the Black Assassin now and bring the lacrima to me," Head of the Magic Council commanded.

"Yes sir." The servant obediently rushed out of the room.

"We need to do something about "Black Death" now. They having been causing us too much trouble. These dark guilds will never learn." He chuckled to himself, stroking his beard.

"Here is the communication lacrima, sir." the servant said, while bowing and offering the greenish orb in his hand.

"Good. Now leave." The council member deposited a small amount of magic power into the orb, waiting for her to answer his call. The orb glowed red, indicating that she hasn't picked up.

"Ahhh. Now you answer."

"I'm sorry. I was busying picking fruit sir. What do you need this time?"

"There is a dark guild inhabiting a town a couple hours away from you. Destroy it. And if you can, bring me that book so we can seal it away. I believe this will be the 53rd dark guild if you take it down."

"Well of course. I will do ask you wish sir."

"Thank you. You are brilliant. Onto another subject my dear, why did you not join the Ten Wizard Sa-" Well then. I guess she doesn't like to bring up the subject, he thought.

Natsu POV

"So this is the Black Death's guild hall. Apparently, they have been roaming the city, torturing people if they found out people were against the guild being there. There has been other rumors but I doubt that dark guilds would go even that far." Erza said with a straight face.

"Whatever. Let's kick their asses." Grey said, punching his fist together.

"I'm fired up now!" Natsu yelled, with both of his fist in flames.

"Now you feeling better huh. I guess you still have you fighting spirit." Lisanna said, as sweetly as she could, trying to win over his affection. She grabbing his hand, but Natsu unconsciously pulled away and kicked down the door.

"LET'S EAT FLAMEEEEESS!" Natsu began punching people with his iron fist. "Fire Dragon Roar!" Flames shot out of his mouth burning his enemy and their guild hall.

"What the hell? What crazy person wants to mess with us?" someone smirked.

"That idiot!" Grey yelled, tightening his fist at his side. He ran through the knocked down doors while the girls followed behind him. "Today might be the death of this dumbass! Ice make hammer!"

"Requip: Heaven's Wheel!"

"Animal Soul: Tiger Form!" The four fought for ten minutes, taking down most of the guild members, but they couldn't move forward into the guild hall. They were still being cornered at the entrance. Then the guild members were moving aside, making a pathway.

"Well, well. Fairy Tale. I knew the town contacted another magical guild, but I didn't think it would be weaklings like you. Be gone. Vanish into the abyss." The man lifted his arms. "Cursed Poison!" Black smoke arose out of his hand and began to slowly circle around the four of them.

"What is this?" Erza said, covering her mouth.

"It's poison! Don't breath it in!" yelled Grey

"I don't know…" Lisanna fell to the floor.

"LISANNA!" the three yelled. While the three were distracted, a member ran to Gray with a sword and stabbed him through the gut.

"GREY!" Natsu yelled, coughing. Grey fell to the floor while Erza and Natsu were at their knees.

Lucy POV

This is the guild hall I believe, she thought. She was wearing a back coat that covered her entire body to her ankles. Underneath, she had two black scythe with a very dark pink blade and semi-short handles. They were used for assassination, staying quiet in the shadows. They were both held on her back making a 'X'.

She had a dark blue top, with black shorts, outlined with white. How should-.

"LISANNA!" someone screamed.

The assassin ran quickly toward the guild. She still had a little distance. Was that Erza?

ERZA POV

Erza was still standing with tears flowing. "Ha. Finish them off." the master said, despicably. Erza couldn't requip and was falling. All her friends have fallen and she was on the ground helpless. She needed to fight. I will not lose. This is not the end. She stood up, trying to not breath in the poison, but it was too late. Her vision began to blur. She saw white spots forming. A black figure appeared in front of her. This can't be the end. "Enchant: Healing bubble Form One." Her consciousness was returning. She can move. The spots disappeared and she could see clearly. She found herself in a greenish floating bubble with the others. Her wounds were vaporizing into thin air, leaving nothing, but small scars. Everyone was now conscious. "Absolute Cancel." The black fog disappeared. What is this magic?

"Ahh. I didn't expect someone to come to their desperate need."

"Gray, Lisanna, Erza….Natsu." The person in black mumbled, quietly.

"Ezra...that scent." Natsu said quietly. He remembered it, but couldn't pinpoint it.

"Who is that?" Gray asked, getting up slowly. "And why are they helping us?"

"I don't know." Erza said, quietly. "But that person knows our names."

ORIGINAL POV

A single tear ran down her cheek. The hood of her cloak shadowed the top half of her face, just exposing her lips. She grabbed the handles of her two blades from her back. Holding it in front of her, she ran towards the dark members, than hooking her left hand's second finger onto the circle hook at the very end of the handle. Throwing the scythe, the finger stayed with the hook and the scythe was hurling at the enemy with great speed while she ran as chains came out of the end of the weapon. All four of them were amazed.

She used her magic power to force the chains back into the blade so she could be pulled to her blade and the enemy. She grabbed the handle in mid-air right in front of the members, and with one slash, taking out all of the members but the master. The slashes left the member with a long bloody wound on their chest.

The master was raising his eyebrow. He stood there with a smile. "Impressive, but I am the chal-"

"Leave this town." She was now right behind him, holding the curved blade to his neck. She said it with a dark tone. That speed, everyone thought. Ezra and the others jumped back at the tone used. "Or suffer."

"Well, really. What a-" She held out two fingers and stabbed him in the right hip, making his legs harder to move, and bringing him pain. He screamed and she dropped him to the ground.

"If you and your little guild are still here in two days," she said, darkly, "then I will bring you nothing, but suffering. The master lied there, wide-eyed. How was he defeated so easily.

She pointed to the healing bubble and popped it because all of the wounds were healed. She was leaving through the broken door before Natsu quickly got up and grabbed the arm of the assassin.

"Who are you and why do I recognize your scent? Remove your hood." Natsu demanded. The person just stood there, saying nothing. He sniffed again, making sure.

"Natsu. Calm down. That person helped us." Grey said, standing up. Natsu forcefully turned around the person and remove the hood. Everyone was shocked. They were all staring at the person in front of their eyes.

"Lucy…" Tears ran down Lucy and Natsu's faces. Her face was red from crying while Grey and Erza could do nothing but stare.
