Chapter 0: The Last Night of Humanity (Prologue)

Lucy opened her eyes as she suffered from a throbbing headache and burning stench. She slowly tried to wake up and sit but she fell down again. She figured out that she is covered with remains of a building. She desperately tried to come out of the rubble and succeeded after a few tries. She tried to stand up and move around but was again interrupted due to an injury on her ankle. Fortunately, there were no fractures. She limped and took support of a nearby wall to come out of what seemed like a lane.

She remembered that she is in an abandoned town nearby Clover town. Fairy Tale, Saber tooth, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and other major guilds in Fiore were in a war against one fallen mage and his monster army. The last memory she had was that they were in their hotel room discussing strategies against the enemy when Sting, Rogue and Lector rushed inside screaming that they are under attack.

Before they can come out of shock, the building began shaking and Guild Masters and other high level mages shouted everyone to vacate the buildings and run to attack. Lucy and others rushed outside avoiding the crumbling walls and roofs. Just when they were about to exit the building, she saw Levy losing her balance and slipping and the wall nearby was about to fall. Others were too ahead to reach to Levy so she rushed back ignoring Levy's protests to run outside and leaving her. Lucy made it in time and pulled Levy just when the wall finally crumbled and fell where Levy was seconds ago.

If it had been any other time, Levy would have hugged and cried thanking Lucy but the time was running out and the building was about to collapse. The 2 girls ran outside avoiding the falling debris but steps away from the main door, Lucy suffered the same fate when her foot collided with a rock ahead and she lost her balance and fell down. Levy saw her a second later but it was too late. A huge rock size roof fell between the 2 friends and Jet who was standing outside waiting for the girls to make up to the outside was forced to drag Levy away from the falling building in spite of her protests and struggle to return to Lucy. Just then, a huge piece of remaining roof began descending towards the fallen Lucy, who watched with wide eyes and then lost her consciousness.

Now Lucy seemed to remember that she jumped out of the way at last moment and quickly crawled her way to the corner where she was safe from the debris.

Lucy finally limped out of the lane to come at main streets when she witnessed the horrific scene in front of her.

The whole town was on fire. Almost every building and house was burning ablaze. The cries and shouts of mages were evident as some of them were caught in the fire and were trying hard to extinguish those flames.

When Lucy's eyes traveled further ahead, she saw even more terrifying scene.

On the grounds ahead, she could see several similar faces of her guild and the alliance. Elfman, Evergreen, Orga, Yukino, Lissana, Merudy, Juvia, Rufus, Jenny, Romeo, Ichiya, Ren, Hibiki, Eve, Sherry, Chelia and others were lying unconscious. Further limping ahead, she could see Macao, Reedus, Wakaba, Max, Jet, Droy, Levy, Cana and several other faces of her guild lying in a pool of blood. Laxus, Minerva, Mirajane, Erza, Jura, Jellal, Sting, Rogue, Kagura, Bacchus Gajeel, Gray, Lyon and several other strong mages who were supposed to fight in frontlines were either unconscious or too weak and wounded to fight.

Only few mages could be seen still fighting but they too were falling one by one. This war is close to its end and the result is crystal clear.

This is the last night of humanity. The morning sun will bring a new era: Era of evil and darkness.

"Lucy-san"

Lucy immediately turned around and saw Wendy approaching her. After a close look, she realized that she too was badly injured. Her right arm was heavily bleeding and she was obviously crying and Carla was nowhere around.

"We lost Lucy-san. We lost everything" Wendy said while crying.

Lucy too felt tears on her cheeks as she analyzed her surroundings. This place truly resembled hell now. Fire, war, deaths, screams and monsters… everything was present.

Lucy was jolted out of her thoughts when she realized the cracking sound behind them.

"Wendy! Lucy! Out of the way" Doranbolt screamed as he pushed the girls ahead and next moment the building fell down after a 15 feet tall monster appeared in front of them. The monster resembled an enlarged version of Taurus and Scorpio hybrid. The monster had the body of Taurus up to his waist and then after the waist, he had a body of scorpion.

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM ME!" Soon another giant appeared at the same place and Lucy saw Makarov in his Titan form unleashing a barrage of attacks on the monster, who looked clearly beaten and losing against Makarov. This brought a little hope to Lucy who looked as Makarov lifted the monster above his head.

"Master! Behind you" Wendy screamed.

All of them turned behind but before they can see anything, all of them were blown away with a huge explosion that was intended for Master Makarov.

Lucy was the least injured among them as Master, Wendy and Doranbolt had lost consciousness…or they could even be dead. With that, the last flicker of hope too extinguished.

Lucy tried to see the attacker and after a bit of struggle, she saw him.

The leader of the enemies, the guy who declared the war on all the guilds of Fiore, the exceptional mage who took down all the Wizard saints by himself was standing tall on a building looking at the destruction and chaos that his minions and army created.

Standing above the town hall, was ex- Fairy Tail mage who destroyed all his former comrades by his own hands.

The fire dragon slayer with pink hair and onyx eyes

Natsu Dragneel a.k.a. 'Salamander'

The little monsters screamed out a cry of victory on fall of one of the strongest mages in battle.

It was then that Lucy noticed 3 of those lizard creatures coming to her.

"I guess this is the end for me" Lucy thought as tears welled up her eyes.

The monsters prepared their attacks which were supposed to be finishing moves.

"I am sorry everyone" Lucy thought

Though there could be any things that she can think in her final moments, only one thought came to her mind.

That particular day when it all began, the milestone that lead to the evil Natsu, war and that particular mission 10 years ago.

The misunderstandings, mistakes and accidents that lead to demise of them

"I wish things hadn't turned out like that" Lucy thought "then we could have saved Natsu"

The final attack was fired that came towards Lucy.

"Good bye everyone" Lucy closed her eyes as everything turned black afterwards.
