Hope you enjoy.
Two boys, both looking alike, sat on the top of their mountain, looking down as they see the Fiore guards haul off their new prisoners.
"Seems like our plan failed brother." One said. The other simply nodded and went back inside. "All that hard work for nothing."
"He's going to be mad." They continued walking, following the light from the energy on the walls. "Those Dark Knights saved them." When they reached their destination one of them walked up and slid his hand across the lacrima.
"It was pretty reckless for a Dragon Knight, trying to steal energy without knowing where it comes from. They were so close to destroying their lives." He smirked. His brother held a hard look. "Oh well, I guess we are going to plan B, right brother?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to. Let's hurry brother, we have work to do." Holding up his hand he created a small, glowing, white orb. His brother walked back over to him, creating a duplicate orb in his hand. The two then threw the orbs at the lacrima.
As they took off the energy from the lacrima exploded, making the mountain collapse until it was nothing but rubble.
SIX MONTHS LATER
"Noooo, I don't want to." Lucy groaned as she put her pillow over her head. Sadly someone was trying to rip it off.
"Get up Lucy, we have to be at the guild in fifteen minutes or Gabriel is going to come searching for us. Now UP!" One last tug the pillow came off. Lucy glared up. "Don't give me that look."
"How did you get in my house anyways?" She asked, taking her pillow back.
"You gave me a key." Sara replied, holding it up. Lucy reached out to grab it but ended up falling out of bed. Sara began laughing. "Shut up Sara."
"Not a chance."
"I'm trying to sleep here." The two looked back to the bed as Natsu rubbed his eyes. Sara closed her eyes. "Put a shirt on." Natsu shrugged while Lucy blushed, remembering why he didn't have a shirt. When Natsu saw her blush he winked, making Lucy turn redder. "EW I don't even want to know what happened last night. Lucy just hurry up and get dressed before we have Gabriel killing us." Before Lucy could explain that nothing happened Sara exited the apartment. Lucy faintly saw Gray on the outside.
"Oh man it is getting late." Natsu jumped up and put on his vest, not that it covered much. The last time they were late Gabriel ended up punching him more than ten times before they could even get into the guild. When he looked back Lucy was still on the ground. "Lucy I'd rather not get killed this early in the morning." Giggling, Lucy got up and changed into her usual attire, in the bathroom. When she came out Natsu surprised her by picking her up bridal style. "Natsu?"
"We're going to be late if we go at your pace." He smiled and without warning jumped out the window and began running. Lucy just smiled and enjoyed the ride. It was not the first time they did this. When they got to the guild Gabriel was waiting. "Right on time." He smiled, though it looked evil to Natsu, and walked in.
The guild greeted them as they went to the bar. Sara and Gray were at a table talking with Levy and Gajeel as Gabriel joined Lisanna at the bar as they were talking to Mirajane and Laxus. "Lucy, let's go on a mission." Natsu suggested.
Lucy made a face. They had just got back from a mission two days ago and though Lucy was not complaining that much she did find one problem: the missions seemed too easy. Gabriel allowed Lucy to use her powers, passing it off as Dragon Slayer magic, but says that is a last minute use and she would summon spirits first (though there is one particular spirit Gabriel refuses she call unless he was not there, no matter how much Lucy wanted to). Gabriel stopped using his Equip magic while Sara continued to use her Archive magic since Gabriel did not want her changing into a dragon. Since getting her magic back Lucy's been trying to find ways to use it whether it was letting it slip on missions or training with Natsu.
"I don't want to go on another mission yet Natsu. Wait a few more days." Gabriel spoke up. When they go on missions Lucy could not go unless one Gabriel or Sara went. Most of the time they both go and their mates would follow. Natsu glared at Gabriel while Lucy sighed. Even after six months Gabriel could not get over his overprotective behavior. He has loosened up a bit thanks to Lisanna and she even got him to agreeing that Natsu and Lucy could go on their own missions by themselves if the place is only one-two towns over.
"We'll go on one really close Gabriel." Lucy really wanted to have some alone time with Natsu. The only time is at night but with Gabriel moving into the apartments across the river she could feel him staring at the window and that was a mood killer. She was just glad Sara was not as protective since she moved into Juvia's room. But the constant arrival at her place annoys Lucy and Sara knows it.
Gabriel looked between the two when Lisanna hugged him. "Come on Gabriel let them go. Then we can spend time together." Gabriel blushed a bit but it was hidden with his glasses.
"Not MAN." Elfman grumbled from across the room. Evergreen hit him.
"Ugh, fine." Gabriel sighed, knowing he was not going to win. Lisanna winked at the two as Natsu jumped up. "Alright, Happy, pick out a mission."
"Aye sir." Happy replied and flew to the board.
"No missions!"The guild looked up as Makarov came down the stairs. "Lucy, Gabriel, Sara, I must speak with you."
"What is it old man?" Sara asked.
He held up a stack of papers. "The Council sent this to me. Apparently there have been a number of unexplained occurrences they thought would be something related to Dragon magic."
Gabriel took them. "Why would they say that?" Lucy and Sara walked over to look. As they read they all scrunched their nose. "What does it say?" Erza asked.
"Just different reports of random explosions happening all over Fiore." Lucy answered. "Some buildings been destroyed with no cause. I don't see how they have to do with Dragon magic."
Looking more closely Sara gasped. "Hey Gabriel, isn't this the mountain where the lacrima was?" She pulled out one of the papers. Reading it Gabriel's eyes went big. "You're right. And it was destroyed the day after we got back."
"Wow, it was destroyed to nothing but a pile of rock." Lucy looked and was surprised by the picture. She remembered how big that mountain was and to see it like that was strange.
"Could that lacrima have broke?" Laxus asked.
"It's a possibility but it couldn't have by itself. Someone had to have destroyed it." Gabriel answered. "And that glass was tough; someone with a lot of power had to have done it."
Sara looked back at Makarov, "other than that these don't have any indication that Dragon magic is involved. No witnesses, no videos. All the places have no significant location. No one was killed and there's no report of something being taken. For all we know it's a dark guild or independent mage."
Gabriel set the papers on the bar. "I do want to check the mountain in Clover town out. That is a little suspicious for it to be destroyed right after."
"Do you think the owner of it did something?" Gabriel nodded. "That is a possibility. We need to head back there immediately."
"NEW MISSION." Natsu yelled from his seat.
"Does he have to come?" Gabriel sighed. Lucy slapped his arm. "What?"
"You wanna go?" Natsu stood up.
Gabriel smirked. "I'm ready when you are."
"No no fighting." Lucy stood in between.
"Yeah Natsu will end up getting killed one of these days." Gray snickered.
"I'll take you on too." Natsu turned to him.
"You can get him Gray." Sara cheered.
"Don't encourage them Sara." Lucy whined.
"Oh shut up this will be great ya baby."
"Don't call me a baby." The two girls glared at each other.
Gabriel and Erza sighed at the two almost fights that were about to happen. Most the guild was already putting their bets. The fights got interesting when Natsu and Lucy teamed up against the two. Natsu loved when that happened. Lucy never wanted to join in a fight until Sara came along and brought this out of her. Gabriel and Erza got in the middle before it could happen again. Gabriel threw the two girls away from each other and Erza bashed the boys head together. Sara and Lucy began yelling at Gabriel who yelled back and Happy was trying to wake Natsu up from his daze.
As this went on no one noticed the doors open or the strange brown hair boy that walked through. "YO FAIRY TAIL." Everyone looked up, Natsu and Gray waking from their daze to stare. Who the hell is that? Natsu thought.
The strange boy was shirtless with white baggy pants and was barefooted. His brown hair was in a spiky ponytail and his big, dark brown eyes were darting around the room. He was smiling, showing his teeth. "Where is Lucy Heartfilia?"
"Oh great" Gabriel narrowed his eyes, recognizing the newcomer instantly.
"Isn't that…" The look on Gabriel's face answered Sara's question. Lucy just looked at the boy. "What's he doing here?"
Hearing her voice the boy turned and looked at Lucy. "Found ya."
Natsu glared at him. He did not know what he was doing here for Lucy but he never liked any guy looking at Lucy.
"Lucy Heartfilia." The boy took a step inside and pointed his finger at her. "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT."
