Authors Note (DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL): Dear DemonXM, I thought about adding some OC's to Sting's Guild, although I decided to keep all of Mashima's characters except for one OC, which is an Exceed coming up in the future. For anyone who is not quite that far in the Anime series, Sting is an actual character.

Lucy's POV

I wake up startled from my dream with Igneel. He said it was fine if I told Natsu the truth and that I should possibly training him the new techniques I had learned. Igneel wanted me to fight Natsu with all of my different Slayer Magic... In fact, he made me promise I would do that.

I groan at the thought of seeing Natsu. The room around me is familiar... Fairy Tail's infirmary. I look around and spot Erza coming through the door when she catches me awake.

"Lucy. You're awake. We've been worried."

"Uh, how did I get here?"

"You were dropped off by somebody. We don't know who."

Sting obviously. That guy confuses me... "I see. Well thanks, I only needed to regain some magic, that's all."

I hop out of bed and ask Erza, "Where's Natsu? We need to have a serious talk."

She answers, "He's by the bar."

I walk over to him and he immediately gives me a large hug. My eyes grow slightly wide.

"We need to talk," we say in unison. Natsu decides to rudely start. "Tell me where you've been."

At that topic, everyone in the Guild turns to listen.

I gulp. "Well, I was getting to that. So after I wrote that, I left and found these ruins. Since you all seemed to be happy without me, I thought it would be fine for me to leave. I removed the Guild Mark and again, found the ruins where I met some people -well, not exactly people, but they trained me to become stronger. And one of them, Natsu, was Igneel."

At Igneel being mentioned, Natsu flares with rage. "Luce," he says slowly. "You better not be kidding with me."

I gulp nervously and say, "I -I can prove it. I -I'll battle you."

He silently walks out the door, signalling me to come out as well. We're currently in the back where there's nothing to destroy. Natsu says, "Go all out and don't hold back. You can use any kind of magic you want."

I start the first move by running with quick speed and punching his face. He falls to the ground but gets back up immediately. By now everyone has come out to watch our fight, even the Guild Master is interested. Natsu attempts to punch me back except I catch his punch and grab his arm in a tight hold and throw him into the air, giving him the advantage. He takes the bait and sends me a fire wing attack. I pretend to trip and take a direct hit. Only thing is, fire doesn't work on me. Instead, I use his attack to propel my into the air to give him a pretty hard punch. He plummets out of the air and hits the ground, where he lays there limp.

Wow, that battle was over quickly. I land lightly on the ground and there are supportive shouts all around me. Some wanting to battle me and others just shouting in awe. A promise is a promise though. I walk over to Natsu and kneel by him, saying, "Natsu. Igneel wants me to train you."

I knew he heard me but he says, "You didn't prove it yet. Show me your fire magic. Full blast Roar of the Fire Dragon. Prove it."

I hesitate, but nod in understanding. I shout at everyone to stand back and they do so.

"ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" I yell before sending a large vortex of fire into the air. I send it straight into the sky where I know it will dissolve. Everyone stares in shock at how much more powerful I had become. When everyone goes silent, I turn to see none other than Sting Eucliffe.

He claps and smirks at me before approaching me, spinning me around and kissing my cheek. I gasp and all my magic power leaves my body. Basically with all this new power, my weakness isn't transportation. It's being treated like a girlfriend. "Bingo," Sting says before lifting me onto his shoulder and carrying me away. I on the other hand was trying my hardest not to puke.

I at least, through my full-of-puke mouth manage to say, "Gate of the Lion, I open Thee."

Leo comes as expected and easily takes me from Sting's arms, holding me tight, "Ah! Lucy I missed you!" He cuddles me, making me puke on his shoulder, and what a lovely color his suit used to be. Leo grimaces before taking off his jacket and leaving it on the ground.

Most of the Guild had left though when Sting showed up. Everyone except Natsu getting off of the ground and MiraJane watching with amusement. By now I've stopped my illness but am still pretty weak. "Leo, get me to a train, now!"

Happy comes out of nowhere and flies Natsu just behind us as Loke and I board a train. Natsu sits across from me while Loke sits next to me; I take the seat farther from the window. Happy just randomly sits on the table. Now Natsu was the one sick. I say, "Sting won't be able to reach us here. He'll just collapse somewhere on the train, we're at the very front."

Natsu nods, or at least what I think is a nod. The train was actually pretty nice. It had comfy chairs and a large window for every seat on the side. After a few minutes, I hear heavy stomping. Before I can react, a hand reaches out and covers my mouth. The others haven't noticed yet, unfortunately. He pulls me by my waist and jumps out a window, making the glass shatter. Loke and Happy stare shocked out the window as Sting runs off with me. Loke, the scaredy cat he is stays on the train while Happy flies out Natsu to follow us. Natsu recovers from his illness immediately and starts to yell at Eucliffe. From being carried by a guy, I already start to get sick.

Rufus flies out with Lector carrying him as they distract Natsu. I feel angered not being able to do anything. After 30 minutes of running we finally stop at a tall house with 3 stories. He carries me to the 3rd floor before finally releasing me.

"Please join my Guild," Sting says. I'm pissed at him for kidnapping for that reason only. I want to smack him. And smack him I did. He says, "If slapping me will get you to join my Guild then slap me 100 times." I blush slightly, but stop slapping him. "You noticed on the train didn't you? That I didn't have the illness. I did actually, but I fought it off just for you," he says pleadingly.

I once again blush before heaving a sigh. "Sting, I have nowhere to go. I decided that I would never come back to Fairy Tail, I didn't want the pain. But I guess you could say I'm willing to make a new family," I murmur.

He yelled in delight and grabs what I believe to be a Guild Logo Stamp. He asked me what color and where. I answered with on the side of my neck with yellow. He stamps the side of my neck and I take a look at the stamp. The logo was a picture of a phoenix with its wings open. Sting notices my odd look and says, "Weird, I know. The Guild is called Phoenix Eternal . I know it sounds stupid.

"I laugh and tell him, "Nah, I like it."
