This is a GraLu fan fiction. Let me set the record straight though. I love many ships in the Fairy Tail Universe and this is but one of them.
Side Note: Laxus is here because the master gave him a less severe punishment and allowed him to stay. (He's kinder)
Side Side Note: I like Lisanna, but I needed some way to set this story in motion.
Side Side Side Note: I do not write lemons. This will be the romantic type of romance.
(This story will be updated occasionally)
Fairy Tail Guildhall
For the past few weeks since Lissanna's return, practically no-one had been paying attention to Lucy. The only people that even spoke with her anymore were Gray, Levy, Happy, Wendy, and Laxus. Gajeel was indifferent since he rarely spoke with anyone.
Currently, Laxus was busy trying to find a mission for him and his team, Gajeel was just lounging about, and the remaining four were waiting for Lucy to show up. They wanted to make sure she knew people still wanted her around.
They also knew things had been hard for her since people started ignoring her in factor of Lisanna. Not even Natsu, who had originally brought her into Fairy Tail, spoke with her anymore.
"I never thought Natsu would act like this." Happy said concerned for his best friend.
"I agree. I thought Fairy Tail was better than this, but no one's noticed how Lulu's been affected by all of this." Levy added.
Gray was lost in his thoughts. Ever since he'd met Lucy, he'd had a small crush on her. He just never pursued it since Natsu and Lucy seemed to have a thing for each other. Gray had come to terms with it in the end and would be happy so long as Lucy was happy.
Now, Natsu didn't seem to have those feelings anymore, and that tore Lucy up inside. This, in turn, did the same to Gray. Then Lucy entered the guild, snapping the Ice Make Wizard out of his thoughts. She looked downtrodden, and only those who weren't into Lisanna noticed her enter.
Lucy looked down at her feet until Levy called out to her "Hey Lu, over here!"
The Celestial Wizard looked over at the group and gave a slight smile as she made her way to the table.
"Lucy, have you managed to get enough money for your rent?" Gray asked.
"No, the solo jobs I've gone on just haven't paid enough." Lucy said disappointed.
"Our offer still stands you know. The 6 of us could take a higher paying job together." Levy offered.
"Maybe." Lucy said surprising everyone because up to this point she insisted that Team Natsu had to stick together. "You know what, I'm going to talk to Natsu and see if we're going to head out as a team. If not, then we can take a job."
She was confident as she made her way over to Natsu's table. This was also where Erza, Lisanna, and Elfman sat.
"Natsu, can I ask you something?" Lucy asked hesitantly.
"What is it?" Natsu snapped.
Lucy flinched. "I-I was wondering if the team was going to take a job. My rent is…" Lucy began only for Natsu to stop her.
"It's always about your rent, right? In the end, we do the heavy work and you still get an even share of the reward. I for one am sick of it. Me and Erza have been talking, and we agree that you shouldn't be a part of the team anymore. In fact, you're too weak to even be a Fairy Tailed Wizard. You should just quit all together." Natsu stated arrogantly.
"Natsu, I don't understand. What's wrong with you?" Lucy asked, shocked that someone she thought of as a friend would say that to her.
"Nothing's wrong with me. I just finally realized how much of a burden you were to me." He then stood up. "Show of hands. Who agrees that Lucy's weak?" Natsu asked raising his own hand.
To Lucy horror, practically every member raised their hands.
This caused Lucy to start crying. "If that's how you all feel, then I quit."
Lucy ran out of the guild trying to dry her eyes.
"Natsu…" Makarov angrily began only to be interrupted by Gray who stood up and slammed his hand on the table.
"Something is seriously wrong with this guild. It's changed ever since Lissanna's return. The Fairy Tail I knew wouldn't have turned its back on a member like you all just did. I quit!" Gray angrily exclaimed.
He erased his guild mark and ran after Lucy. Everyone was shocked by Gray's actions. Natsu was about to say something when Levy stood up.
"I'm out to. Lucy is my best friend, and you've all treated her terribly. I can't stand for this." Levy stated before erasing her mark.
Jet shouted, "Levy, don't go!"
"We're sorry!" Droy shouted.
Levy glared at her teammates. "If any of you were sorry, then you wouldn't have done this in the first place."
"Don't do this my child. I will get to the bottom of what's going on here." Makarov begged, sad that things had come to this.
Levy was done talking. She just walked out of the guild without another word.
Laxus jumped off the second floor and showed that his mark was already gone. "So, you got rid of Lucy because you thought she was weak huh. I suppose I should leave as well since I did try to attack the guild.
It's only a matter of time before you peg that as a good enough reason to get rid of me as well." Laxus glared at the Thunder Legion as they began to protest. "You three have just as much a leg to stand on as Levy's team does, so save it."
That shut them up as Laxus made his way to the doorway only to stop and look back as Makarov yelled for him. "Laxus!"
Laxus smiled sadly and held up his fingers in the Fairy Tail salute. "Gramps, take care of yourself. Maybe I'll return someday when you teach your members some proper manners."
He walked out.
Gajeel was next as he and Lily walked to the middle of the guildhall. "They're right, this isn't the Fairy Tail I joined. Thanks for everything old man, but I don't think my cat and I should stick around.
"I agree with Gajeel. My prince would be ashamed that his guild has turned into this." Lilly said.
The guild was deathly silent as they had just lost several members they'd knowns for years, but the loss wasn't down yet as Wendy, Happy, and Carla made their way over to Natsu's table next. Happy looked at the two people who had taken care of him when he was younger.
He just couldn't see them as those same people. "I don't know what happened to the two of you, but you're no longer the kind people I once knew. You kicked Lucy off the team for being weak so how long until you drop me?"
"Or what about Wendy?" Carla asked as he dragon slayer was on the verge of tears.
"I would never get rid of…" Natsu began only for Happy to stop him.
"...A friend. That's exactly what Lucy was, yet you didn't seem to have any problems with doing it to her. I hope you're happy with the choices you made because I can't stay here Natsu. I quit." Happy said before flying off and letting lose his own tears.
This seemed to get Natsu's attention as he jumped to his feet and shouted, "Wait! Happy!"
Happy ignored him and flew out of the guildhall.
"I'm leaving to. I may not know where Lucy's going, but I want to go there." Wendy stated.
She then ran from the guild, wiping tears, as Carla followed her slayer glaring at everyone in the guildhall.
"Wendy! Carla! Wait!" Natsu shouted, but like with Happy, they ignored him.
Everyone in the guildhall was utterly shocked. As they all thought about what they had done and been doing. One thought crossed almost everyone's mind. What have we done?
"This was unintended. I just wanted to get rid of that blond wizard that took my place. I didn't want any of the others to leave." Lisanna thought.
Streets of Magnolia
Lucy was still crying until she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Lucy, wait up!"
She wiped her tears and turned around to see Gray running after her.
As Gray drew closer, she saw that he no longer had his guild mark.
"Gray, you didn't." Lucy stated shocked at the actions the Ice Make Wizard must have taken.
"I'm not the only one Lucy." Gray said.
At that moment Laxus, Wendy, Gajeel, Happy, Lilly, Carla, and Levy approached the two of them.
"We all quit Fairy Tail. It wouldn't be the same without you, and we want no part of a guild that would hurt one of its members like they hurt you Lu." Levy said as she gave her friend a comforting hug.
Lucy cried fresh tears; however, they were of happiness this time. "You guys…"
"Say what you want, but I quit because Fairy Tail wasn't a right fit." Gajeel said in his usual tone.
"Whatever you say Gajeel." Panther Lilly said with a smirk.
"So, what do we do now?" Wendy asked.
She seemed as if she was the saddest of the group just under Lucy.
"Our skills mainly lie in being wizards. We can't change that, nor can we just join any old guild. That's why I think we should form our own guild. We'll set up the charter that makes it, so the members come first. That way, if its ever broken, the offending member will be sent away. We don't want what happened at Fairy Tail to happen here." Laxus stated serious.
"It's not a bad idea. We could create a guild that's like what Fairy Tail used to be." Gray said, liking the idea more and more.
"Are you sure I would be welcome in your guild. I'm weak after all." Lucy said down on herself after everything that happened with Fairy Tail.
"Lucy, you are nor, have you ever been weak. Natsu's just too much of a flame brain to see how strong you really are." Gray stated determined to make Lucy feel better.
"So, are we doing this? Are we going to form our own guild?" Laxus asked.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and all of them now had smiles on their faces. They may no longer have Fairy Tail, but at least they had each other. Soon, they would have a new guild. One that would be Fiore's top guild.
