DC: I do not own Fairy Tail
Lucy's POV
Natsu and I were fighting an entire Dark Guild. And they were tough.
"Crap, I'm starting to run low on magic power." Natsu said to me.
"Same here. What do we do?" I asked as we went back-to-back.
Natsu thought for a moment.
"Aha! I've got it! Lucy you take the right and I'll take the left! It's pure genius!" Natsu said, grinning.
I sweatdropped, but started attacking.
"Gate of the Lion, I open thee! Loke!" I chanted, holding up Loke's key.
Suddenly a person with spiky orange hair in a suit and sunglasses appeared. "It's been awhile, Princess. Is it time for me to confess my love for you?"
I sweatdropped again. "No! Let's beat up these guys!"
And so it started. Loke, Natsu, and I started attacking. And soon after MANY people running away screaming "MOMMY!" all but one mage was defeated. Suddenly Loke disappeared, as he was at his time limit. Now there was only one man left. The Master.
"I congratulate you on defeating my guild, but I'm afraid that your winning streak is about to end." He said, his snake like eyes narrowing. "For I possess the ultimate magic, Existence! Whatever and whoever is touched by this magic is erased from existence, and all the memories are removed too!"
Natsu's eyes narrowed.
"Lucy, let me take this guy, I sense his magic is really dangerous. Plus you're all out of magic power." He said to me quietly.
I was about to open my mouth to protest but realized he did have a point. I was out of magic power, and this guy was probably out of my league. I reluctantly nodded, and he turned and faced the man.
"I'm your opponent. Let's fight."
The moment the battle started, Natsu was losing. If what the man said was true about his magic then if the magic touched him then he would disappear. I suddenly noticed something strange about the man who Natsu was fighting. He had suddenly stopped using magic, and was only attacking with physical attacks. Suddenly something clicked in my mind. It was an illusion. I quickly looked behind Natsu there was the man, aiming his magic directly at Natsu. Acting on instinct I ran towards Natsu, screaming at him to watch out. I still ran, even though I was yelling. Just as the magic was about to hit him, I managed to push him out of the way. I thought we were both safe. The man had disappeared. Natsu looked at me and his eyes widened with fear.
"No, Lucy…" He whispered in horror.
I looked down at my stomach. A golden magic circle was there. It suddenly glowed brightly and I was filled with the most agonizing pain I had ever felt. I screamed so loudly that Natsu started to swear. Then it suddenly disappeared. I took several deep breaths.
"If that was supposed to wipe me out of existence, then it didn't work." I said getting up.
Then I noticed that Natsu was crying.
"Natsu, what's wrong?" I asked alarmed.
Suddenly I felt a strange sensation in my hands. I brought them up to my face. They were slowly fading away. I gasped.
"No…" I whispered.
"Lucy, why did you do that?" Natsu asked me.
I smiled sadly. I didn't want to admit my real feelings about the dragon slayer. I had fallen in love with him. It had been like this ever since he saved me from Phantom. He was always there for me and eventually he grew from just a crush to someone I generally cared about. As I was thinking, I had almost completely faded away. A breeze picked up and blew my long blonde hair. My brown eyes watered. I looked at Natsu.
"Natsu, I don't regret what I did. I would do it one hundred times if I had to. But I can't tell you why. Someday you will figure it out." I said, tears flowing like rivers down my cheeks.
"No Lucy! I don't want you to leave! You're my best friend and I don't know what I would do without you!" Natsu sobbed as he watched me slowly fade away.
I smiled sadly. "Natsu, know that I did this by my own choice. And don't feel guilty. And most importantly… don't forget me."
Natsu's POV
"And most importantly… don't forget me." Lucy said with a sad smile on her face.
And then she was gone. I noticed that my memories of her were slowly leaving my mind, like sand in an hourglass. The last thing I remembered of her was her sad smile, and then she didn't exist.
7 Years Later. Natsu, Gray, and Erza are 24 and Wendy is 19.
Natsu's POV
"Natsu, why the hell did you do that?!" Gray asked in an annoyed tone, directing his words to me. "You just HAD to blow up the whole neighborhood, didn't you?! Now we didn't get paid."
Gray, Erza, Wendy, and I were returning from a job. It was simple. Release a neighbor hood full of people from bandits. But I may or may not have destroyed every house on the block, so we didn't get paid. We were trekking through a forest on our way home to Fairy Tail.
"Guys, wait a sec." Erza said, stopping suddenly.
We were in a large clearing. I sniffed the air. There was definitely something strange about it. It wasn't sinister though; it was more like a sweet energy.
"If anyone's here, I demand you to show yourself!" Erza yelled.
Suddenly I heard a war cry and whirled around to see a girl with shoulder length blonde hair, brown eyes, and extreme magic power bearing down on me.
