Lucy POV

"LUCY!" Someone shouts.

Natsu! Oh God! I think panicked.

"Let me join your guild!" I plead, looking at the two dragon slayers desperately.

Rogue shrugs, "Depends, if you can beat Natsu," he points to the approaching footsteps, " in less than ten minutes then we will at least consider letting you join the guild."

I smile wickedly, a way to let out my anger and show off.

"Give me five!" I say a sadistic smile plastered on my face.

"Lily thinks Natsu is going to be in trouble."

Lily is one of my exceeds. She is purple and has one white paw. She also has a knife strapped to her left forearm. My other exceed is Avi, who is a scarlet color, she has grey paws and always wears a green dog suit.

"I think we should move." Avi states dragging Lily, Frosch and Lector to the side. Rogue and Sting follow their exceeds, leaving me in the middle of the alley, facing the rapidly approaching footsteps.

"Frosch and Lily think that Natsu is loud." Frosch states

"Lily and Frosch also think that Lucy is going to win." Lily pipes up.

"Shut up!" Lector and Avi say, obviously annoyed by the two exceeds talking in third person.

"I'll destroy him in less than five minutes!" I call out, looking at Sting and Rogue.

Sting makes a noise of disbelief, Rogue just looks on ahead.

"LUCY! I found you!" Natsu says in between breaths. He looks at me excitedly.

"Wait, Lucy why are they here?"He points to Sting and Rogue.

"Lily and Frosh want to tell Natsu that he should start running." Lily says while Frosch nods his head.

Happy looks at the group of Exceeds excitedly.

"FRIENDS! " He shouts heading straight for Lily.

She screams and unsheathes her knife, backing into the wall and swinging the knife around wildly.

"Help! " She wails in a desperate voice.

"Frosch is coming, Lily!"

I look at Natsu, "They are here to take me to my new guild, as soon as I defeat you." I say, getting ready to fight.

Natsu's mood changes immediately and he charges at me, his fists lighting up with fire. I stand there unimpressed as he gets closer.

"Weak." I say grabbing his flaming fist which is centimeters away from my face.

"I don't even need magic." I say throwing him flat on his back. " But everyone wants a good show, right?" I ask the exceeds who nod their heads.

I kick Natsu in the gut, sending him flying into the wall. He immediately stands back up, stumbling out if the hole his body caused. I rush at him, punching him in the stomach and then punching him again in the jaw. He swings at me wildly and I easily duck out of the way.

"No more games!" He says enraged while wiping off some blood that had leaked out of his mouth.

"Fire Dragon's ROAR!" He shouts as a stream of fire comes rushing towards me.

I use the wind to blow out the fire and start sauntering towards him.

"Two minutes! " Avi calls out.

I sigh and nod my head. "It ends here, Flame-brain." I say

He charges again and then stops as he hits an invisible wall of air.

"Wha-?" I cut him off.

"Water lock!" I shout.

A bubble of water immediately surrounds Natsu who begins to thrash around wildly and shouting things that I couldn't comprehend.

"The more you speak the faster your air supply is wasted." I state turning my back on him.

"Lucy!" He shouts through the water.

I turn and lock eyes with him, my face expressionless.

"I-I- I love you, Luce, why would you do this?" He asks sadly.

I shake my head. "You had your chance. You turned everyone against me, and now it's to late to take that back, Natsu." I say watching as he starts to pass out.

His eyes close and his body falls limp inside the water bubble. I release the water and Natsu's limp body falls to the concrete with a small thud.

"Take him home." I order Happy who quietly obeys and flies off with an unconscious Natsu.

"Four minutes and twenty six seconds." Avi says.

"Lily thinks you shouldn't have been playing with your prey. Then you would have been faster. "

"You're right, Lily, I should have just finished him off quickly. I knew you were tired."

I pick up my stuff and head in the direction towards the

"Oi, Blondie, where are you going?" A voice shouts from behind me.

I turn around and roll my eyes.

"The train station. Aren't you supposed to be bright or something, since your a light dragon slayer?" I asked him walking towards the train station again.

I can hear their hurried footsteps and the quiet beating of Exceed wings.

Lily and Avi appear beside me and perch on either side of my shoulders.

"It's not fair. Why do you get two Exceeds? " Sting asks me

I look at him and cradle Lily.

"Originally I only had Avi. But one day I found a dragon slayer who was hurting the people of Galuna Island. Lily was his exceed and he was very cruel to her. After I beat the dragon slayer I took Lily who was barely able to stand up by herself, she's been part of my team ever since."

I look at Lily affectionately while she snores lightly in my arms. We walk in silence to the train station and when we arrive we wait for the train in silence.

Natsu POV

"She's . . . Different. " I say to Erza who sits in a chair beside my bed in Fairy Tail.

"She was with Sting and Rogue. She also had two Exceeds which means she's a dragon slayer. Except she used Water Lock, when she had previously been using the wind." I say looking at Erza seriously. "She's going to join Sabertooth. She said she didn't want to come back because, because I-I turned everyone against her after we, well, you know, broke up. " I trail off as tears well in my eyes.

Erza looks at me sympathetically. "You need to rest. " She says getting up and leaving the room.

"Lucy." I whisper before falling into a dreamless slumber.

Sting POV

I looked at Lucy who walks beside me. She doesn't look the least bit worried about entering a guild who has been her rival since forever.

"Aren't you worried or something? I mean you are about to ask to join a guild who has been your rival forever. "I ask her intrigued by her calm demeanor.

She shakes her head. "I'm not part of Fairy Tail. Your guild is not my rival. I have nothing against them seeing nobody has tried to injure me. "

"But what about the Grand Magic Games? Minerva almost killed you!" I protested. This woman was so confusing!

"I would have done the same if I was stronger. It's all part of the Games." She said shrugging.

I shake my head, not wanting to dig deeper into this.

Lucy POV

"We're here." Sting says stopping in front of a giant pair of doors.

I take a deep breath and kick open the doors. All eyes are on me and a glass shatters the tiny fragments glinting in the light and bouncing across the floor. Nobody makes a move to clean it up. They all stare at my, some confused. Others enraged, and then I see Minerva hurtling towards me, her eyes clearly stating her intentions.
