Happens before the Grand Magic Games.
Prologue~ღღღ
Team Natsu is on a mission with Lisanna. The mission was easy; capturing some bandits who were stealing precious things. The only problem was their teamwork.
The problem is Lisanna refused to leave Natsu's side and keeps on clinging on Natsu. Of course, it annoys Natsu to hell. He wants Lucy to do it, not Lisanna. Plus, he can't use his fist on fighting.
Natsu looked at Lucy and scowled.
There was Lucy, giggling...with Gray.
Natsu yanked Lisanna off in the 'kindest' way as possible. He cared less about Erza's glare piercing through him, he just...
Natsu threw Gray and carried Lucy at his back.
"Hey you idiot! Put me down!" Lucy says, punching lightly Natsu's back.
Natsu grins then says, "Not bad, Luce. You're getting lighter."
"Lucy Kick!"
Lucy kicked Natsu to where he threw Gray, on the tree. These two male bodies collided together with a 'crack'.
Erza smiled at this. "Lucy, you are getting stronger, I see." Erza says causing Lucy to blush.
"Thanks Erza. So... Lisa-chan... How are you two...with Natsu?" Lucy teased.
Lisanna groans and scoffs, "An idiot he is, he surely doesn't know who I like."
Lucy smiled slightly and puts a hand on Lisanna's shoulder.
"Lisanna, just don't get too early okay?" Lucy teased as she watched in amusement when Lisanna's face flushed red.
"Lucy-chan!" Lisanna shouted.
Erza looked at these two, a smile curving up in her lips. Who knew there two could get along this easily? But then again, they were easy to get along with.
Suddenly, Lisanna and Lucy were whispering to each other, loudly.
"She looks weird." whispers loudly by Lisanna
"I know right? She looks weird smiling like that, for no reason at all" Lucy agreed quite loudly.
Erza chuckle, arms crossed. It's like the two girls were intentionally letting her hear their whispers. Erza bottles up her amusement, for the mean time, and glares at the two girls.
Lisanna and Lucy ran off, giggling.
Soon, Gray and Natsu were running with them.
"Why are you guys running?" Gray asked, facing the two girls not his direction.
Lisanna giggled
"For the pillar" Lucy answered, grinning.
"What do you—" Gray says, groaning in pain when he hit a pillar.
Natsu looked at Gray and bursts out laughing, flames going out his mouth.
Lucy giggled.
"Natsu, tree" Lisanna warned.
"Wha—" Natsu didn't not finish for he bumped hard on a large tree.
The two girls laughed at the boys' pathetic state.
Soon, Erza caught up to them, walking of course, as they left to go back to their family.
As soon as they got back to the guild, they were welcome back, kindly.
"Lucy, I want to talk to you." Master Macarov says, from upstairs.
Lucy nodded. God, she was very nervous since it was her first time to be called by Master, alone.
Curious and worried looks were now aiming on her from her guildmates. Lucy just smiled softly and nodded at them, saying that she will be alright. Oh, Lucy can only hope tat she'll be alright.
Steadily, she walked to Master's office. Seeing that he was waiting for her, made her more nervous.
"Sit, child." the master says as Lucy do so.
"So, do you know why I called you here?" Macarov asked.
Lucy opened her mouth to speak but a lump beaten her to it. She shook her head, fearing her mouth to say something inappropriate.
"Well, your father sent me a letter about your mother" the Fifth Generation Master says as he watched when Lucy's eyes widen.
"First, tell me truth." Macarov says, strictly. Lucy gulped and nodded.
"Have you been training?"
Lucy nodded.
"How was you your progress?"
"It's... quite good, actually." Lucy says.
Macarov nodded.
"Good, then you're ready," Macarov says, "Your mother wanted you to grow up like her. To do that... Your father said...that you need to have two guilds"
Lucy froze and sighed. "Does the others have to know about this?" she asks
"I... Tell them before the Grand Magic Games" Master says.
Lucy nodded. "Let me guess... Father picked the number one guild in Fiore?" she asked.
Macarov nodded. "There is something else... You are said to be the SSS-class in that guild."
Lucy stood up, banging her palms on Macarov's desk, breaking it in process.
"What?! Why?!" she exclaims
Macarov tries to contain his calm face on. He eyes his broken desk making Lucy looks at it.
"A-Ah! Gomen!" Lucy apologizes.
"You see why child, Jude probably said so." Macarov says.
Lucy sighs and says, "Fine, what guild it would be?".
"Sabertooth"
Lucy went out of Master's office, sighing in tiredness.
She knew everyone was eyeing at her, she smiled meaning she was okay.
She went to the bar.
"Is there something bothering you, Lucy?" asked by Mira.
Lucy smiled. "I'm alright... Look, Master is gave me a mission. If—"
"Luce! Ready for our next mission?" Nastu asked.
"A mission from Master, you say? We're a team, so bring us all." Erza says, eating her cake.
"I'm ready, Luce!" Gray says, stripping of his shirt while stretching.
"Alright, I'm in too! If that's okay with you..." Lisanna says.
Lucy frowns.
"I don't mind but..." Lucy says, stopping and think of the right words.
"It's for a Celestial Mage only." Master says.
"Huh? What kind of mission is it, gramps?" Natsu asks
"Defeating a dark guild" master says as Lucy's jaw hits the ground.
...
"WHAT?!" the whole guild exclaims in shock.
"But Gramps!" Natsu whines. "I want to kick some ass too!"
Master nodded at Lucy, meaning for her to escape. Lucy did so.
Lucy was walking around where the location of Sabertooth was held.
She looked in awe when she saw the guild. Hiding herself in a cloak, she went in.
Inside, it was very fancy and and quiet.
She was told to go upstairs for the mastert was there.
She knocked on the master's office, waiting for a sign for her to come in.
The master says for her to come in, she did so.
"State"
"Lucy Heartfilia" Lucy says, removing her cloak's hoodie.
"After all those years?!" Jeimma exclaims
"... My mother wanted me to join two guilds and my father wanted me to join Sabertooth" Lucy explains.
Jeimma chuckled and mumbles, "He has to pick they're enemy."
Lucy's eyes widened at this.
"...You do accept the thought of you being an SSS-class, right? Only if you make it alive" Jeimma says, seriously.
"Why?" Lucy asked
"A mage that can handle two guild at once is more than strong. In history, over seven hundred, seventy-six, excluding you, only one mage made it through and she is your mother." Jeimma says.
Lucy nodded trying it take it all in.
"Alright then, where do you want your mark?" Jeimma asks.
"In here please?" Lucy says, pointing at her hip. She closed her eyes, tightly.
Jeimma gulped and moved his finger. The Sabertooth stamp flew through Lucy's hip, stomping it in process.
One...
Two...
"Nothing happened." Lucy stated.
Jeimma nodded. "Then it means you are a SSS-class Sabertooth mage." he said
Lucy nodded back, getting her gloves and covering her hands.
"Come on, let me introduce you to the guild." Jeimma says.
Will they like her? I suppose that is what we don't know.
All it matters right know was... She was...
