"I'll tell you what," came the deep baritone voice from the lacrama, "I'll come help you if Blondie agrees to be my woman!"

Lucy sinks into thought as all of the guild around her gasp at the demand. She knew they their chances of a win against Phantom Lord without help from Laxus and the Thunder Legion were very slim, if there was any chance at all. She looked around at her guild mates and saw the stress that she had caused them, the loss brilliant in every one of these mages eyes.

She could do this, she thought. She had to for her nakama. "I'll do it," Lucy said, rolling her shoulders back and pulling her head up high.

There was an audible silence following her decision, no one expecting her to agree to such a ludicrous demand. Everyone, including the blond male in the lacrama, stared at her in awe. She had just agreed to something that would not only turn the tides of this mini war, but something that would change her life forever.

"Lucy you don-"

"I really do, Mira," Lucy said, interrupting the white haired barmaid. "If it means they will help us and you all will be safe, I will gladly sign my life away for however long he wants. Please, just help them," she begged.

The face in the magical communications device smirked, "Be there in about 20 minutes, my dear." The last word was said as almost a snarl before the screen cut off.

No one made a move, all too shocked at what had just transpired. Lucy had just agreed to belong to what was easily described as Fairy Tail's strongest, and likely most unstable, mage. Everyone knew that her word as a Celestial Spirit Mage was binding; mind, body, and soul. She quite literally just signed away the freedom that she had fought so hard to achieve, to save the rest of them.

"Lucy, we could find another way to stop them," came the voice of Erza. The redhead was visibly shaken, barely controlling her rage.

Lucy shook her head with a sad smile on her face and tears in her eyes, "My word is binding, you know this." She sat on the ground next to her friend and held her hand as tears streamed slowly from both females' eyes.

She just gave herself away to a man she barely knew. This was no different than what her father had wanted to do. Lucy shook the thought away, no, she was making this decision for herself. Her father had brought this upon her family, her nakama. It was his fault that this decision had been made.

Lucy quietly cried to herself, what have I just done?!

Laxus was filled with rage when he walked up to the guildhall with his team behind him. "These fucking weaklings let this bullshit happen," he snarled, glaring at the destroyed building.

His inheritance was falling in shambles and it was because his grandfather refused to limit who joined the guild. Little cockroaches were constantly running around, waiting to be squashed. And it had happened, finally. "What a fucking embarrassment," he muttered.

"Boss, why are we helping them?" Bickslow asked, tilting his visored head to the side in curiosity. "We could let them be crushed and then you can just take over after that."

"I would have to agree," came the voice of elegance from Freed. He placed a hand over his sheathed sword, "We could simply let this battle run its coarse and then strategically pick up the pieces wherever they may fall."

Laxus huffed, that had been his intentions but the thought of having the blonde as his slave made him beyond excited. He hadn't expected her to accept his offer, he was just being snide, but, when she had, he was eager to scoop up his grandfather's newest charity case. He wanted to break her, ruin her.

"That grin is very creepy, Laxus," Evergreen stated, rolling her eyes behind her pink fan. The Fairy Mage didn't like this at all, she too was a woman, after all. The idea of being a possession was absolutely revolting and she had no idea why the busty blonde had agreed to her leader's demands. She must have a death wish, Ever thought to herself.

"Let's go get my prize," Laxus said, smirking as he walked down the stairs to the guild basement.

A/N; Meep! Okay, no A/N's until after we're caught up to the new versions of the chapters! Lots of love!
