They opened the door. Lucy's eyes widened. The guild was completely empty. "N-Natsu, how long have they b-been gone?" Lucy studdered, eyes watering. Natsu sighed and sniffed. "Based on the smell, I'd say a few hours." Lucy turned and ran. "Wait!" Natsu yelled. He grabbed her arm, but Lucy pulled away. "I can't let you go." Natsu said. "This was all planned, wasn't it? So I wouldn't be at the fight?" Lucy pulled.

"Erza told me to keep you away. It was for your saftey." Natsu grabbed Lucy's other arm. "I have to help them. This is my fight, I have to help!" Lucy yelled. Natsu pulled her into his chest andn hugged her. She sobbed. "I-I have to... fight. It's not f-fair for me... to stay out of the way. Not... not again." Lucy sobbed. Natsu couldn't look at her. Happy stood next to him, looking at the ground. Lucy slowly forced herself to stop crying.

Lucy looked at Natsu. "I-I'm sorry." She choked. "For what? You have nothing to say sorry for." He asked. Lucy sighed. "For Phantom, for this battle, and... for this!" Before Natsu could ask what, Lucy kicked him in the gut, knocking him down. "I'm sorry!" Lucy yelled over her shoulder. She ran out of town, to Shadow Valley. "Lucy!" Natsu called. Lucy looked back, but ran forward. Happy was flying Natsu to her.

Lucy ignored Natsu and ran forward. "Lucy, wait!" Happy flew faster. Suddenly, Lucy froze, causing Happy to fly into her. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy tumbled down the hill, into the valley. Natsu sat up, then looked at Lucy. She looked dazed, her eyes were wide, over filling with tears. "L-Luce, what's wrong?" Natsu asked, pulling her up. "I-it's all m-my fault." Lucy mumbled, dazed. "It's my f-fault they're all... they're all..."

Natsu helped Lucy up, then looked at the valley. Bodies. Bodies were laying all over the valley. Dark guilds' bodies were mixed with Fairy Tail's bodies. Erza, Carla, Nab, Wakaba, Master Makarov, Gray. Everyone. "No." Lucy shook. "No!" She yelled. Natsu looked at her. "Lucy-" "B-b-big sister L-Lucy." A small voice said. Lucy and Natsu scanned the area. Wendy's hand was shaking as it raised.

"Wendy!" Lucy yelled, running to her side. "I-I'm sorry... we weren't strong... enough." Wendy cried. "No, it's my fault!" Lucy sobbed. "I brought this on Fairy Tail." "We... did well until... another guild came. They... killed Gray... and blood shed began. W-we... l-l... lost. Lucy, I-I'm sorry I... wasn't stronger." Wendy studdered, closing her eyes. "No! Wendy, you were stronger than me. You've grown so much." Lucy watched Wendy smiled, holding her hand. "I love you... Lucy." "I love you, too!"

"Celestial Heart." A man called. Lucy looked up. A group of 8 stood with Happy in their hands. He had a knife in his chest. "Happy!" "We won. Come with us, now." Lucy recognized Kaito. "You! You killed them!" Lucy screamed. A light appeared. "Loke. Kill them all." Lucy shook. "They... they killed Fairy Tail!" Loke's rage was felt. He ran and attacked them. "Luce, there's no survivers." Natsu said, then froze. "Happy?" He ran to Happy's body.

Lucy stood up, shaking, her bangs covering her eyes. "I'll fix this." Lucy said. Natsu walked to Lucy. "W-what are you gonna do?" He asked worried. Lucy smiled sadly at him. "I'm going back in time." "But... how?" He stood in front of her. "The necklace I got from the mission, it's called the Time Amulet. I can use it once to go back in time to change and fix things." Lucy explained and closed her eyes. This never would have happened if I hadn't joined Fairy Tail. That's what I'll change.

"When will you go?" Natsu asked. Lucy looked at the ground, then hugged him. "I'm going back to the day I met you. I'm going to avoid you, never join Fairy Tail, never kill Fairy Tail." Natsu's eyes widened. He grabbed Lucy's shoulders and pulled back. "No, I... I don't want to lose you. There has to be another way." Lucy smiled. "Everything has an order. I'll go through the same time line, but from a distance." She said. Natsu frowned. "But, Luce, I... I-" "Lucy, look out!" Loke yelled.

Before Lucy or Natsu could do anything, a sword tip was lodged in his stomach. "Natsu!" Lucy's eyes widened. Loke grabbed the guy and dragged him back. "L-Lucy, I-I-I... I love you." Natsu studdered. Tears ran down her face as her eyes widened, then she smiled. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "I love you, too. That's why I have to save you, and Fairy Tail." Lucy pulled back, but Natsu wrapped his scarf around her, pulling her forward. Lucy's lips found his and she closed her eyes.

Then, she stood up and walked away. I want to go back to the day I met Natsu and Happy. Lucy thought. She looked back at Natsu, who was staring at her. "I'm sorry." She said. The portal opened. Then, she realized she had Nastu's scarf around her. She smiled and put her hand around the scarf. "T-take it... with you." Natsu choked out. Lucy nodded. "I'll be around just the same, but you won't see me, won't know me, won't love me." Natsu nodded. "I l-love you, L-Luce." "I love you, too, Natsu." Lucy smiled, then walked into the portal. "Good bye, Luce."
