A little plot bunny that attacked me after the time-skip until I finally put it to paper. I'm not quite done with the anime yet since I just started it this year but I really loved this arc . I'm going to mess with the dragons over all a bit (you'll understand soon) and well I hope you all enjoy!

The Missing One
Natsu's POV
"No we are not giving up! Everyone link hands and focus your magical energy onto Freed and Levy!"
I nod, determination, rising within me, we were not going to die today. I look to a crying Lucy and extend my hand to her, staring into her eyes and trying to convey a sense of peace, we were going to make it through this, together. She gives me a small smile and quickly wipes away her tears with one hand, grabbing mine with the other. Lisanna grabs my other hand and we all link together for our last stand, a family until the end. I look at everyone, standing together, determination in eyes and on faces, we would survive this without a doubt. I close my eyes and focus my magical energy, sending it through our link and ignoring the impending doom Achlonogia's attack promised. I feel a warmness fill me, protecting me, before my hands are ripped away from Lisanna's and Lucy's and then blackness overwhelms me.
Seven Years Later
"Over here! I-Is that Lucy?" A voice calls, the remainder of Fairy Tail scouring the new revived Tenroujima Island for their lost friends. They surround the unmoving body, breath held, afraid to touch her, afraid she was dead.
"Lu-Lucy?" Jet says softly, kneeling beside her and gently shaking her shoulder. The blonde let's out a soft groan, warm brown eyes slowly opening.
"Wha..?" She begins to say, her eyes widening at the people surrounding her but one answers instead jumping on her and hugging her, happy tears in their eyes.
"You're okay!" The older wizards cry out, confusing the blonde female before finally drawing away.
"Wow you haven't aged a day" Bisca says, wiping away a stray tear.
"Well yeah what happened to you guys?! The last thing I remember is Acnologia attacking us..." Lucy says, confusion clear in her eyes and voice.
"It's not us that something happened to Lucy, you guys have been missing for 7 years since Acnologia attacked Tenroujima..." Max replies softly, his voice sad. "At lot has happened since then..." Lucy's eyes widen at this new news, shock hitting her like a tidal wave.
"Th-then where are the others?" She questions, sounding desperate.
"We still have to find them, you are the first person we found." Alzack replies standing up, Bisca at his side. Lucy nods and Warren helps her up.
"Well let's go then!" The blonde says, running off into the woods, everyone else at her heels. They soon find Wendy and Carla, both cat and bluenet attacked like Lucy had been before and they continue this trend until almost everyone is found, a full scale comb run over the island. Only one pink haired mage was missing. A blur appears from the forest, slowing to revel itself as Jet.
"No luck?" Erza asks, the good mood lessened from Natsu's continued disappearance. The speedster shakes his head.
"Nope, no sign of him" he replies eyes downcast.
"I'm sorry but the one called Natsu is not here" a soft, gentle voice voice calls from a ledge. Everyone looks up to see a girl with honey brown hair, a slight glow to her fair skin.
"Who are you?"Gray questions, his hands already forming a stance for his ice magic.
"Calm down Gray, she's a friend I think. She's the one who led us to you."Droy says in response.
"Yes I'm a friend. I am Mavis Vermilion, Fairy Tail's first master. At the time of Acnologia's attack hit I toke the bond between you and the faith you have in one another and converted it all into magic power. Your feeling activated the Fairy Sphere, one of the Three Great Fairy Magics. It's an absolute defense magic that protects the guild against all evil. However everyone was sealed away in a frozen state... and it took seven years to be dispelled." The woman, Mavis, replies.
"If you really are Master Mavis then can't you help us find our friend?" Lucy asks, her eyes betraying her fear for Natsu's condition. The founder shakes her head sorrowfully.
"I'm afraid not, I am only an astral body and it took all I could do to convert everyone's power into magical energy. Even if I wasn't I'm not sure he survived the attack, it contained so much magical energy that anyone outside of the barrier would have been vaporized and I could not sense his presence inside the barrier after Acnologia left ." Mavis says sadly. "In fact I must leave now, take care of our wonderful guild third master and you young mages, I wish you luck in finding the dragonslayer." The founder of the precious guild says before fading away, those who made up the current day Fairy Tail left speechless in sadness, all thoughts on Natsu.
"Natsu...where are you?" Happy questions miserably as Carla gently takes his paw and leads him onto the boat with the others, the white exceed silent as she did so. Not a word is shared as the group sets off back towards Magnolia, their great success soured by the absence of the fire mage, both Lisanna and Mirajane in tears in Elf-man's embrace. Gray, Erza, Lucy, and Happy, the guild's strongest team with Natsu, stand together at the rear of the boat, watching as Tenroujima faded away into the distance, their lost comrade never found on it's scared shores.
Hope that was a good start, I'm always nervous when I start writing for a new fandom... please tell me what you think in a
