Chapter One
"The Return of A Comrade"
"Heartfillia."
"…"
"Lucy."
"…"
"Lucy Heartfillia."
"What do you want?" The girl answered much to her dismay as the person who called her smirked victoriously.
"Finally you answered my call, Lucy Heartfillia."
"…" The person frowned and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"You should respect me more for leaving you alive in this ruined church, Lucy Heartfillia." Lucy only stared at the man and has to hold the urge to spit on his smirking face.
"You mean underground of the ruined church. Where no light spotted and we can befriend rats." The man eyed her with amusement seen on his eyes.
"You're truly an interesting girl." He uttered as he grasped a strand of her long blonde hair and breathed in, taking her scent as much as possible before letting it go elegantly and smirked. He took out a black small remote and clicked the only button on it. Lucy shivered in horror. The chains that bounded her without any defense were attached to her arms and legs tightened as if they are threatening her, ready to rip her into two.
"N-Natsu!" She screamed as the chain electrocuted her without mercy and tried to rip her into two. Her keys that were thrown into an empty dirty cell were jingling and shining. But none of them can come out because of the metal bar cells. They were designed to restrain magic. So anything that has magic flowed inside them can't cast their magic inside the cell.
The man's lips curved up and he stopped the ordeal. Lucy's body became limp as she can only stared on the ground and barely breathing.
"L-Loke…" She whispered in a low voice as a tears escaped from the corner of her eyes to the ground. Suddenly, her keys were shining so brightly than ever and all of Lucy's spirits came out all at once.
"L-Lucy-san…" Aries gasped as she stared at her master's condition. Her clothes were torn on the floor barely can be considered as 'clothing'. Her eyes were dull and her long hair wasn't the same like always. It's not a stunning golden blond anymore. It's a dirty dark blond. There were many scratches around her skin, bruises and dried bloods everywhere. Her right leg was hanging limp. And at that moment, Aquarius realized.
That man broke her leg.
To prevent her from escaping.
She gritted her teeth in anger as she held close her urn.
"Gemini." She hissed. Gemini turned their head to her. Their expressions are unreadable. "Turn into Juvia. Now." Gemini nodded and a puff of smoke surrounding Gemini as they turned into Juvia. Aquarius quickly used Gemini that had turned into Juvia to attack that man with the water.
"Please stop…" Lucy whispered desperately.
Scorpio also fused his sands with Taurus's giant labrys.
"No…"
"Aldebaran!" Taurus and Scorpio shouted. While the gold keys of celestial spirit attacked the man continuously, silver keys of celestial spirits tip-toed to Lucy to release her.
"No…"
"Death wave!" The man shouted as he smirked. They froze on the spot unable to move a muscle.
As the black magic approaching her celestial spirits, Lucy screamed, "NO! DON'T!"
It hit them. Zeref smirked as he turned to see his doll that was chained. Her tears fell uncontrollably.
'Cruel…'
Lucy's tears once again made their escaped and fell to the dirty ground.

Fairy Tail's Guild
Master Makarov sat on the bar and lost in a deep thought. The guild didn't even make noise. They were silent. And gloomy.
"Third."
"Yes, First?" Master Makarov turned to face the pale blond haired girl that was floating on the ground. He gulped when he saw Mavis's stern expression.
"I sense Zeref's power and some… other power that in balance with his power."
"Oh." Master Makarov muttered. Master Mavis frowned.
"Don't you care about… Zeref's awakening?" Mavis muttered as Makarov sighed.
"I care. But…" he turned to Mavis with teary eyes, "Lucy has gone for three months and even our Dragon Slayer can't sense her. It's like… It's like she is already gone out cold!"
A table was thrown to the other side of the guild.
"Don't you dare to say that words! Lucy is alive! I know it! I trust her! She will be back with her cheerful smile and laughed with us again! We will be partying non-stop to welcome her and then… and then… and then we will go on a mission again, together!"
"Natsu…" Mira said as she covered her mouth and cried behind the bar, letting the glass she held to fall and shattered into pieces.
"Just.. Just stop it Natsu. We must accept this. Lucy… Lucy is…" Gray slammed his head on the table and cried while biting his lips.
"No!" They turned to Juvia.
"Love rival is strong! Love rival must be fighting somewhere and on the way to her home, to our guild, to Fairy Tail! Love rival will never leave us unless she said goodbye and cried! She must be alive! Juvia is sure about it! Love rival is… Lucy is alive!" Juvia shouted as her tears poured down like a rain.
"That's right." This time they turned to Erza. "Lucy is the strongest girl I've ever met. Both physically, mentally or supernatural. She is the most amazing little sister I could ask for. We must believe in her. After all we are nakama, right?" Erza smiled sadly. As much as she wanted to believe her own words, there are a single doubt on whether Lucy is alive or… dead. But her feelings betrayed her own words. She trusts Lucy. And will always be. She vowed, if Lucy comes back, she will go with her wherever she goes. She won't leave her side. She cried as the other only stared—shocked at her. This is the first time they ever saw Erza Scarlet's body shook uncontrollably from the tears.

Somewhere on the uninhabited forest, deep in the edge of unknown ruined town not far from Fiore.
"Jellal. Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, Ultear. I can sense Zeref. Ah.." Jellal's movement stopped as he saw a ruined church.
"I never know there is a church here. Although it's ruined now." Meredy stated as she looked around them.
"Death wave!" They heard a man yelled from the ruined church but no one there.
'Underground?' Jellal thought.
"Death wave? Jellal! It's Zeref!" Meredy nodded vigorously as Jellal only stared before he spoke up, a girl's scream interrupted them.
"NO! DON'T!"
Unconsciously, Crime Sorciere shielded themselves with their hands and defense magic. A moment later, they opened their eyes and shocked. Nothing happened to them.
"C-Could it have any connection with the girl's scream…?" Meredy asked and that pulled the trigger on both Jellal and Ultear. Realization hit them.
"I-It can't be…?" They rushed to the ruined church and searched for a button or any trigger that will lead them underground.
"Guys!" Meredy waved her hands. They ran to Meredy and saw a black rose. The only creature lived on this uninhabited place. Jellal picked the flower and the ground was shaking as another black rose grew. A black magic circle appeared below them and they were transported below the ruined church. They sneaked up on a rock pillar and consciously hide their presence. What they saw is a blonde girl naked and chained with scratches, bruises and dried blood on every of her exposed skin. They noticed some odd limp on some part of her body but their attentions were taken back by a black haired man that smirked evilly at the smoke.
The smoke cleared as fifteen celestial spirits stood still without any scratch.
"What? How can you still be alive and not vanished into your own world?" Zeref hissed.
'Vanished into your own world…?' Ultear thought, 'Could it be!?'
Ultear tightened her fists. Meredy saw this and frowned.
"What's wrong Ultear?" She whispered and saw tears rolling on Ultear's cheeks. She jolted in surprise.
"U-Ul?" Meredy called again and saw no response from Ultear. All that she knew is suddenly, Ultear was emitting a dark killing aura towards Zeref.
"Jellal." She called. Jellal looked at her in confusion. She continued, "Fifteen celestial spirits. Ten gold keys and five silver keys. Celestial Maiden, blond." She hissed through her teeth. She may not know her that well but that blondie is part of Fairy Tail, her new friends. She can't let Zeref passed this so easily. Jellal tried to understand Ultear's hints until Meredy's conclusion stroke him.
"N-No way! L-Lucy-san!? Lucy-san of Fairy Tail?!"
"L-Lucy!?" They turned their attentions to the girl and it confirmed that it's indeed was Lucy of Fairy Tail.
"Jellal, take out your Lacrima and contact Erza. Just Erza." Jellal nodded as he contacted Erza and once again, shielded their presence.
-[x]-
-Beep-
Erza groped her pocket in search of her communication lacrima.
-Beep-
She took it out and Jellal's face appeared.
"What is it, Jellal?" She took everyone's attentions.
"We—I need to talk to you. Private." Erza nodded weakly as she climbed upstairs. Before that she stopped and took out her sword and pointed it to everyone in the guild along with a death glare.
"No one following or die." They nodded weakly and slammed their heads on the table in frustration.
"So, what's up?" She said without spirit.
"My first time seeing Fairy Tail so gloomy. Something wrong?" Jellal raised one of his eyebrows. Erza nodded and cried again.
"It's Lucy…" She saw his expression changed but she shrugged it off. "She has been gone for three months. Even the dragon slayers in our guild can't sense her. It's like… It's like she is dead for good…"
A pregnant silent until Jellal spoke in a cracked voice.
"Listen, Erza. I know this might seem unbelievable but… in front of us is.. Zeref. And he is fighting some group." Erza's back straigtened.
"What?"
"Yes, and I need you to see this. But please quiet down. We only need you to find out." Jellal moved his lacrima towards Zeref's fight.
"Yes, it's Zeref allright." Erza declared quietly.
"Look at the girl in the back and who are fighting with him at the moment, Erza. Do you… Do you recognize her?" It's pained him to make Erza saw her family's condition but they must confirm it before they can be sure. Erza's lacrima dropped to the table as she covered her mouth and cried.
"L-Lucy.. And her celestial spirits.. L-Lucy!" She said her name repeatedly.
"Look, now don't act different and we will save Lucy and bring her to Fairy Tail. Now come down and pretend nothing happened. Put up some story to make them believe. Anyway, don't let them see this. We can't let Zeref know we're here or he might kill Lucy. Now that we have your confirmation we will act. We will see you later, Erza." The lacrima turned off as Erza cried quietly on the floor. She kept calling Lucy's name until she got her sense back and wiped off her tears. She grasped her lacrima and came downstairs, putting an act to make sure they don't find out.

"Thanks to our Princess, we didn't get hurt." Loke said with a death glare. Zeref smirked at Lucy and held her chin upwards. Lucy's celestial spirits hissed.
"Now now, Princess. What did I tell you? If you're ever using your magic to oppose me…" A dark shadow slowly made their way towards Lucy and binding her. They suffocated her. Lucy struggled on her chain as she grasped for air. Zeref got a hold of Lucy's left thigh and a second later a loud scream could be heard.
Zeref broke another leg of hers.
"STOP IT YOU BASTARD!" Loke shouted as they once again charged towards him only being blasted off behind by his magic.
"Ice-make: Rosen Krone!" Giant roses and spiked branches made from ice flied towards Zeref in full speed as he was thrown to another side of the room away from Lucy.
"You! Crime Sorciere!" Capricorn shouted in surprise.
"Ärô vìn ąqũőis vėrľ ŵvyęgārs ďo işvĕnd...[1]" Lucy muttered something under her breath softly as tears kept streaming down and her eyes still dull as ever. Zeref's eyes widened.
"No you wouldn't dare, Lucy Heartfillia." He hissed as he landed on the ground perfectly without any scratch.
"Ŕiħjnę dŷln luċ naręmŋtā hīer ąvơc![2]"
"Lucy Heartfillia." Zeref growled once again before a chain strangled his hands and his body was drowning in many different magic circle.
"You filthy bitch. Don't forget you're mine. I'll come back and grab you again." With that Zeref disappeared and Lucy suddenly screamed and threw her body then and there.
"No.. no… NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! NOT AGAIN! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!" Lucy screamed and cried. She even shoved her spirits and Crime Sorciere who tried to come closer to her.
"NO! NATSU! LOKE! ERZA! HELP! NO NO NO! STOP!"
"Lucy!" Jellal said as he once again get kicked and thrown. "It's me Jellal!"
"NO! STAY AWAY! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
A bunch of white lightning stroke every direction and every one except Lucy.
"Lucy! Stop! It's me Loke! Lucy!" Loke caught Lucy as Cancer cut through the chains that bind Lucy.
"Don't touch me! No! Erza! Natsu! Gray! Loke! NO!"
"Lucy! Lucy! Listen to me! It's me, Loke! Do you recognize me now? Lucy?" Loke grabbed her palm and put it on his cheek while smiling. Lucy's screams stopped right away as she cried. Loke took off his black coat and wore it on Lucy. It reached her thigh.
"L-Loke.. Help.."
"It's okay, Lucy. You are safe with us, your spirit, and Crime Sorciere."
Suddenly a flash of light appeared and turned to be a human. They turned to look who it is. Lucy who saw it's a man, freaked out again. Screaming and crying while throwing tantrum everywhere excluding her and Loke who are holding her at the moment.
"Lucy! Stop it! It's just magic council!" Loke tried to stop her as she calmed down once again in Loke's embrace.
"What is a magic council doing here?" Virgo stepped forward in defensive mode.
"We heard from Erza Scarlet about Lucy Heartfillia being abused by Zeref."
At the mention of name Zeref, Lucy screamed and yelled in pain as she hugged herself in a ball and sobbed.
"Lahar and Doranbolt, yes?" Capricorn and the other spirits moved forward and stood in a protective manner in front of Lucy, Loke and Crime Sorciere.
"We didn't come here to fight. We are here to bring Lucy Heartfillia back to her family. Don't worry. Only we in magic council know. We will keep this a secret and Crime Sorciere won't be arrested because in fact, they are the one who gave Erza Scarlet the information and a protection towards Lucy Heartfillia and her spirits." Lahar explained as Doranbolt only watched Lucy curled up in a ball. He then noticed the odd limp about her legs as he covered his mouth. Unconsciously, his tears fell.
"We understand the circumstances. So if you can, let us teleport back to.. Fairy Tail." Lahar smiled as he touched Doranbolt's shoulder and gave them his free hand to be grabbed on. The other spirits and Crime Sorciere gathered. Some of them touched Doranbolt and some of them held Lahar.
"Let's go Lucy. Our family is waiting." Loke whispered as he held her bridal-style. Jellal touched Loke's shoulder and they were teleported back to Fairy Tail.
-[x]-
They arrived in front of Fairy Tail's front door. Lahar and Doranbolt opened the door and came in, earning a confused stare from everyone in the guild.
"Magic Council? What business do you have here?" Master Makarov stood in the center of the guild. Erza stood up and ran towards them. She stopped beside Master Makarov. Master Mavis floated beside him.
"No harm. We are here to bring back your lost family member." As Lahar said that, Lucy's 14 celestial spirits and came forward with a sad look.
"L-Lucy's celestial spirits? Where's Lucy!?" Erza shouted. "J-Jellal? Where is he!?" She earned a confused stare from everyone.
"Erza, do you by any chance know what's happening?" Master Makarov asked her but Erza just kept shouting Lucy's name repeatedly.
"Calm down, Erza! She is safe! She is with us!" Crime Sorciere moved forwards as the 14 celestial spirits went to each side, made a way for them.
"I suggest you to lower your voice, please." A pleaded and weak voice reminded from behind the Crime Sorciere.
"L-Loke? L-Lucy!?" Erza rushed to Lucy. All of Fairy Tail's members slowly smiled and hugged each other at the return of their beloved Celestial Maiden. They ran behind Erza, Master Makarov and Master Mavis hoping to see Lucy closer and hug her. But they broke into tears again as they saw Lucy in her condition.
"Lucy!?" Erza ran to Lucy and touched her arm. Lucy screamed, making Erza flinched in horror and backed away.
"NO! DON'T TOUCH ME! GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE! LOKE!" She screamed and pulled her hair.
"Lucy! It's okay! It's just Erza! Lucy, we're home, we're in Fairy Tail! Can you hear me, Lucy?" Loke said softly trying to calm her down. She's not blinking as her tears keep pouring down. But Lucy refused to accept. She still thought she was in Zeref's territory and he is ready to abused her again. She struggled and kept struggled as she fell from Loke's embrace.
"LUCY!" they shouted in shock.
"Wool Cushion!" Aries shouted frantically afraid of Lucy's head hit the hard ground. Lucy fell to the wool cushion and she kept screaming to let her go.
"L-Lucy…" Mira called weakly.
"S-Something is wrong with Luce... Ne, why did she keep screaming!? Why!?" Natsu shouted as he ran forward to hold Lucy but stopped when Lucy screamed at him to stay away.
"Loke! Tell us!" They demanded.
"Hime-sama! Please stop hurting yourself!" Virgo took Loke's responsibility of calming Lucy down. Loke left the wool cushion. He is crying.
"Does it have any connection with Zeref?" Erza asked out loud. Lucy screamed again. This time she screamed for Zeref to stop.
"L-Loke?" Erza turned to Loke, feeling unsure of what she had just heard. Crime Sorciere and Magic Council turned their head away.
"Lucy… She… She was abused by him. For three months. We were locked up in some magic cell that won't let us pass through the gates. We are there yet we can't save her. Especially when she screamed my name and Team Natsu's for help." He fell to the floor and punched the ground. And at that moment they saw that Lucy is dragging herself away from Virgo and Aries who tried to calm her down with her hands. Their eyes widened.
"He... He didn't… He didn't, did he?" Wendy's eyes watered.
"He broke her right leg a month after she was kidnapped. To prevent her from running away again. He also chained her. And sometimes when he is bored he… he electrocuted her. Until today when finally Lucy desperately calling for my help, we all passed through our gates without being summoned through our keys. But based on Lucy's will. And... And today, he broke her left leg right in front of us. We're sorry we can't help her…"
"L-Luce…" Natsu cringed at Lucy's high pitched scream.
"W-Why is love rival naked?"
The guild fell silent as a moment later a gasped was heard from some people. With that conclusion in mind, Natsu's body burst into flames. Mavis stared at Lucy in a mother loving gaze and glared at the doorway like Zeref was there.
"She… She was raped…"
Once again, they cried along with Lucy who is hugging herself.
