I updated the last chapter. Before you read this, you will want to re-read the last chapter if you haven't already. I know, I'm mean like that. :-D

I've started up a poll because I haven't the slightest clue who Lucy should end up with. The options are:

Zeref

Laxus

Bixlow

Loke

Rogue

Cobra

I will not be doing Gray, Natsu, or Sting. I prefer Natsu and Gray as more brother-like and I will rarely be in a Nalu mood. I don't know why but for some reason I have never liked Sticy… no idea why. Anyway, I can't decide.

It took about 3.5 seconds for the guild to get over their shock. The next thing Lucy knew, her entire guild, except for Master and Gildarts, rushed at him angrily. He just laughed and stood still, not even moving his arm from Lucy's shoulders. Lucy, however, was getting mad again. The dragon slayers (excluding Natsu) noticed this and backed off immediately. Everyone else just charged until Lucy said, "Stop". She didn't yell. She didn't even raise her voice, and yet somehow everyone heard her over the chaos. Her voice held such power, such authority, and such complete confidence in her abilities and rights. It was a voice that nobody could disobey. "Any one of you who lays a finger on him will be given punishment ten times worse than anything Master has ever come up with combined." Her voice was deadly quiet. "Do you understand?" Everyone nodded, even Natsu. She grinned suddenly. "Good. That's that then." She trilled happily and skipped over to Gildarts as everyone else paled. "Soooooooo?" He mock-frowned at her as she peered up at him expectantly. "I told you, someone's fighting with me." She pouted for a moment then turned, surveying the room for someone suitable. "I'll fight!" To no one's surprise, it was Natsu, to whom Lucy rolled her eyes scornfully and Gildarts scoffed, "Don't be stupid. She'd wipe the floor with you in half a second."
Natsu apparently didn't think so. Either that, or he just didn't have a brain. Whatever the reason, he launched himself at Lucy with a flaming fist in typical Natsu style.
She grabbed his fist and flung him thru the roof.
"I'm guessing that was Igneel's kid?" Acnologia stepped forward to multiple glares from the guild, who apparently had decided that having arrived in Zeref's company, he had to be evil as well (. She nodded slowly, obviously distracted, before rushing off to the Raijinshuu's table and grabbing Laxus by the arm. "Will you fight with Laxu?" She called over to Gildarts, who nodded somewhat reluctantly as Laxus grunted, "Don't call me that." Lucy just ignored him, and she followed as Gildarts began to make his way out of the guild, dragging an unresistant Laxus along behind her.

Sorry this chapter is so short, I'm not planning this story out at all, so I have no idea where its going. By the way, that does mean if anyone has suggestions for the story line or something, I'm open to ideas! I'll put up a longer chapter next time, I promise. Well, until next time then!
