Lucy glanced over at Wendy, who returned her look as they listened to Master Mavis explain her past with Zeref. The blonde raised a brow at the younger girl. Wendy nodded and they both got to their feet and slid out of the guild hall, silent. The two girls were unknowing of two pairs of eyes watching them.
Taking Wendy's hand in hers, Lucy led the way to Porlyusica's house, as the woman held the supplies for the spell they were going to cast.
The spell was one that had been used only Celestial Spirit Summoners, assisted by a Dragonslayer. It was a form of Cosmic (1) Magic took the magic of both users and banished the ones that are being aimed for. For Lucy and Wendy, it was Zeref and the Spriggan 12 along with Acnologia. The girls did, after all, want to cover all their bases, and those three targets were the ones who would be after Fairy Heart (or Dragonslayers, too, because Acnologia is an ass).
The girls were at Porlyusica's soon and Wendy knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Wendy pulled the door open, stepping in as Lucy followed. Their stalkers slid onto a tree branch outside an open window, watching as the girls spoke to the older woman.
"Good evening, Porlyusica-sensei," the girls said in unison. The woman turned away from her workbench and smiled at them warmly.
"Just in time, you two..." Porlyusica trailed off before crossing her arms and giving them firm stares. "Are you two absolutely sure about going ahead with this?"
The girls shared looks before Lucy focused on the woman firmly. "Sensei, I've lost my family a couple of times. First my parents, then after the attack on Tenrou Island and finally the whole shitstorm that was Tartaros... If I have to my family again, it's on my terms, not some dragon or psychopath."
"I feel the same," Wendy confessed, gazing at the woman. "I've lost Grandeeny twice and then Cait Shelter and Jellal..."
Her breath caught in her throat and Lucy squeezed her hand. Wendy looked up with shiny, determined eyes. "It'll be on our terms."
Porlyusica analyzed both girls before nodding slowly. "Alright then... and what about the two of them?"
The girls blinked at her in confusion. "Huh?"
A loud thumping at the window alerted the younger females and they turned towards it. Lucy dropped Wendy's hand and clutched at the blue furball burying his face into her chest, breathless from the impact. Happy was wailing into her chest, screaming he'd already lost her once and didn't want to lose her again, so what was she thinking she was Fairy Tail's Lucy she couldn't die again!
Carla was treating Wendy the same way, saying they'd nearly lost each other fighting Zeref's demon and if she thought she could do something without her you better think again you foolish girl!
Porlyusica chuckled as she watched both girls get scolded by the Exceeds, both trying to calm them down. If anything, their yelling got louder, Happy's turning into a full-on wail and Carla a shriek. Finally stepping forward, she thumped both cats over their heads, getting them to quiet down and earning grateful looks from the girls.
"If you two are done now, I have a question for you two," she said, placing her hand on her hip and gazing sternly at the Exceeds. They blinked at her as the girls cuddled them. "Now that you know Wendy and Lucy are going to do something risky, what will you choose to do now?"
"Help them," Carla said immediately as she clutched Wendy's shirt tightly. "I refuse to stand by and do nothing while they do something that risks them getting hurt."
"Aye!" Happy yelped, rubbing his cheek against Lucy's. "I already saw Lucy die once, and if I can prevent that from happening again, I will!"
"Happy..." Lucy breathed out, shivering slightly and holding him closer.
Porlyusica nodded and turned, motioning to the shelves around her room. "Wendy, Lucy, gather up the things needed for this to work."
"Hai!"
The cats went into the air, offering to hold some of the things for Porlyusica before following as the left the treehouse, gazing around curiously as they headed to the bay.
"Why the ocean?" Happy asked, floating between Lucy and Porlyusica.
"The movement of the tides," Lucy answered, "Not to mention, just a week prior to seeing you and Natsu again, Jason found and gave me back Aquarius's key, not to mention that the Alvarez Empire is coming by ship."
The Exceeds looks confused as to why she would have to find the mermaid's key, but didn't ask. Carla instead asked, "What spell are you planning to cast, exactly?"
Porlyusica answered this time. "It's a type of Lost Magic: Cosmic Magic. As Celestial Wizards are normally close to the stars, Lucy will be able to cast the spell and her bond with Aquarius will help. Wendy is the Sky Dragonslayer, and that type of slayer usually promotes family, healing and safety. Equality as well."
They went quiet as they got to the beach. Porlyusica set the items down and left them, not being able to help them any further having no magic, wishing the four good luck.
Breathing in, Lucy pulled out her keys and the keys she'd snuck away from Yukino, summoning the Zodiac Spirits. They took their positions, Libra nor Pisces protesting as they knew just how far a Celestial Spirit Wizard would go to keep the people they love safe.
Lucy began writing out the runes, having taken lessons from Lahar (2) and Doranbolt (via blackmail, lots and lots of blackmail). Wendy was chanting the spell, wafting incense around the circle. Carla and Happy were sprinkling powdered herbs down into the circle.
As the tide rose, the magic circle glowed gold and sky blue with dashes of white. Since the light had gotten so bright, none of the wizards noticed that members of the guilds and council had watched them, only the Celestial Spirits did.

"You do remember Aquarius, right? The Spirit that's a mermaid?"
"Why are you bullying me? It's because I'm a cat, isn't it?"
"Oh, we got Extol, Nami, you don't have to worry 'bout payin'."
"Where'd you get Extol from?"
"When we first got in this world, we ended up on a Sky Island above the South Blue."
"If you'd been on a Sky Island, wouldn't you know how to get around? How you guys end up in the Blue Sea anyway?"
"..."

"... Happy almost got us killed."
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY DOWN?!"
"WE LEARNED ABOUT IT DURING DINNER, YOU DAMN TOM CAT, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN OBVIOUS!"
Notes:
(1) Cosmic is a type of Lost Magic that was created by a FT fan; it will only be mentioned in this chapter. I did not create it.
(2) Lahar is alive because Doranbolt would be too lonely without him. (No regrets 'cuz I ship 'em)
The FT timeline is when Mavis explains her history. The OP is two years prior. Luffy-15, Ace + Sabo + Lucy-18, Wendy-14, Happy + Carla- 7
