I'm BACK! Hello everyone Sorry it took me so long to update, I had plans of updating yesterday, but it took me longer than expected and I had a project for reading I had to finish last minute. Well winter break is officially over and I had my first day back to school today :*( Not so happy about the work, but it is a necessary annoyance if we want to succeed in life. but I did get to see my friends :D. SO how was your winter break and did you enjoy your first day back to the real world? I really hope we get a snow day super soon. SO as promised (just a little late) here is part two to chapter two, Back in Lucy's perspective, now let's get ready to rob a train full of jewel.

Disclaimer I do not own Fairy Tail !

Chapter Two: blast from the past (part two )

My stomach is in knots and I feel a mix of emotions as I see the train come into view. I don't like feeling this way, all this indecision twisting and turning in my stomach. I watch from afar in the buses as Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla board the train. Thinking about them is one thing, but actually seeing them, and knowing I'll most likely have to battle them is a completely different feeling. I was prepared for the anger and pain even the Longing and possibly sadness. However I was not prepared for the sudden intake of breath and rush of feelings for Natsu. Seeing his pink hair and hearing his infectious laugh brought up things I hoped would stay buried. Gosh i'm pathetic, forget him! He abandoned you to die in the purgatory institute so he could run off into the sunset with his girlfriend, your ex-best friend. I shake my head and give myself a mental slap on the cheek Get it together Lucy!

I feel a tap on my shoulder and glance over at the source. Cam signals that it's time to go sneak on to the train before it leaves. He does know he could just talk to me through the mind link right? Besides were supposed to be doing this mission the loud way not the quiet way. Doing things quietly isn't our style, we like causing mayhem and madness when we do missions like these it's so much more fun that way. Whatever maybe we're just going stealth so we can get on the train I guess Kain doesn't want to cause a panic this close to the fairy tail guild, we could take them, but MIkhail wouldn't be too happy about that. I give Cam the signal that I understand and focus my magic energy on the train and a empty private cart. Taking a deep breath I Grab Cam's Hand and everyone else follows suit and soon were on a moving train in our very own private cart.

After about twenty minutes of travel Kain gives us the signal that we can talk now, and start our mission.

"So why are we robbing a train full of jewel again?" Ty asks Kain in a bored tone. Kain is not the type to just do things on a whim, whenever he does something there is always a reason no matter how spontaneous it may seem.

"Yeah." Cam agrees with Ty "Aren't we like really rich? it's not like we need it."

Kain just rolls his eyes at the twins "Money doesn't last last forever… besides I'm bored and I know you guys are definitely bored, and with all the excess energy you have combined with your new power up, a fight is just what you need at the moment or else you'll probably end up destroying the base again. The jewel is really just a bonus... consider it payment for the mission we have to pull tonight." Ding Ding Ding we have a winner ladies and gentlemen the truth has been revealed. Robbing the train is just a reason to get into an epic fight as a test run for our new powers. It's so we can test our limits and adjust to our spike in power. Kain didn't exactly say that, i'm just that good at reading the crazy red eyed spiky haired freak.

"Makes sense." Scythe agrees

"Whatever." Cam and and Ty say in perfect unison as they nod their heads in agreement

"Are you two going to do that creepy thing where you talk at the same time and finish each other's sentences again?" I ask with an eyebrow raised at their in sync head nodding.

Ty and Cam abruptly stop their head nodding and glare at one another "Stop copying me!" they yell at one another.

"No you stop copying me!" they yell at the same time once again

"Blood Dragon's-" "death dragons-"

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP GOOFING OF AND HELP GET THIS FUCKING JOB DONE!" Kain yells at the two as he smacks them both in the back of the head. Translation: save the fight for later, and get your asses over here and ready to take orders before I kill you my self.

"Kill joy." the two mumble as they walk over to where the rest of us are gathered in a circle so we can go over the plan (that we aren't going to follow) once more.

After going over the plan, we all leave the cart and wander around the train aimlessly looking for anything of significance. After a while we come across a restricted door reserved for authorized personnel only.

I glance over at my comrades to see them sporting the same devilish grin I have on my face "This seems interesting." I say reaching for the handle.

"Hey! This room is restricted!" Wendy yells pointing, when she see's us barging into the room

"Well no duh!" Ty yells back at her like she's an idiot

"Well than get out!" carla yells at us like we're not really a big threat

"Sorry little lady." Scythe says "NO can do… you see we're here to steal all the jewel from you client Mr. hawthorne. You see he owes us some money and we came here to collect."

"How do you know Mr. Hawthorne?" aks happy complete confused and still not sure who we are

"Well you see." answers Cam "Mr. Hawthorne was doing some shady stuff on the side and hired us to take care of a little problem of his in an… unorthodox way. But then after the job was done he decided to skip out on the pay and then tried to blackmail us. Can you believe the nerve of that man. , we we're going to kill him, I mean no one cons the five soldiers of purgatory and gets away with it, but then we got wind of this this giant shipment of jewel he had coming his way and our leader here decided to be charitable and let the man live his crappy life as a broke mother fucker."

"Sorry but Mr. Hawthorne is our client, and no one is going to steal from him under my watch!" said Natsu "not unless they want to be burnt to a crisp!"

When Natsu steps forward I swear everything stops and hell freezes over. Being this close to Natsu is even worse than seeing him from afar in some bushes, I try my best to keep on a mask of indifference and remain disinterested as I stare into his familiar onyx eyes. Yet still i'm in a daze as I gaze at the pyro, remembering all the memories and fun times we shared together. The only thing able to snap me out of my lapse in judgement is Kain's hearty laugh.

"Natsu! Buddy! How's life treatin' ya?" Kain asks in a false friendly tone

"Kain." Natsu says his name like a curse word "I've got nothing to say to you."

"Good." kain says his tone brightening. A creepy smile starts to bloom across his face "Cause we're not here to talk. Besides we can do without these false niceties."

"I'm going to enjoy wiping the floor with your ugly face!" Natsu sneers "I still need to repay you for what you did to Lucy!" he raises his fists and gets into a fight stance with a murderous look on his face. Kain's smirk only grows

Hearing him say my name is like a wake up call, I feel like i've just been doused in ice water, and that old rage is back accompanied by something else. He thinks he can hurt a member of my family. Over my dead body! A murderous aura surrounds me and I feel the air charge with my energy, he is right, someone definitely needs to be replayed for what they have done to me, but it definitely isn't kain I take a step forward ready to cream Natsu and release month's worth of pent up anger and aggression. But kain raises a hand stopping me "My fun first Lucy." he says still sporting his smirk.

Natsu pauses and it seems as if the aggression melts right off of his face "Lucy?" he says my name like a question as he stares at me dumbfounded. Natsu's face twists in pain and mixed with that pain I see an underlying guilt, it looks as if that guilt has been tearing him up, torturing him on the inside. Seeing the pain, that the mere mention of my name has caused him, fills me with great joy and for for a minute I'm floating on cloud nine until one thought ruins it all it's not good enough. I want more. I want him to suffer like I did for those eight months; to feel the physical and emotional pain that i felt. I want to cause more pain. And those thoughts scare me. What the hell is going on inside of me, why am i acting like this.

"You just had to let the cat out of the bag didn't you!" I glare at Kain trying to direct some of the disgust I feel at myself, at him.

Kain just shrugs and smirks again I want to wipe that stupid smirk right off of his face "Gotta have my fun somehow blondie."

Natsu stares at us frozen Unable to move, it's like seeing me cripples him I roll my eyes at this thought don't be so full of yourself lucy. Natsu sniffs the air "It really is you Lucy." he whispers "I thought you were dead. H-How are you alive?"

I snort at this of course he thought I was dead. If I turned someone in and abandoned them with the enemy to save my own sorry but, I would think they were dead to. I feel my lips curl into a sneer as I push my shades on. "The Lucy you know is dead. I'm someone else now, only my family gets to call me by name. Now give us the jewel you stupid pyro!"

Natsu's doesn't think to hide to look of hurt that flashes across his face, he has the expression of a child who just got slapped by their mother. What an ugly display of weakness. He shakes his head, his brain not connecting with what he's seeing "You don't mean that Lucy, we are your family and we miss you come back to us Luce."

Something in me snaps when I hear my old nickname pass from his lips, and all I see is red. feel my nails and teeth get longer and sharper and my fangs come out. My fists erupt in ghostly looking flames as I Let out a laugh full of mirth getting ready to put him in his place. I fly across the room and give him an uppercut to the jaw. I hit him so hard that he flies into a pile of crates. Seeing the amount of shock on his face as he falls makes me feel immense pleasure as I stalk towards him. I yank Natsu up by his shirt and pin him to the wall by the throat.

Natsu's eyes widen in alarm as he gets a look at my eyes "Luce what's wrong with your eyes?!" he asks panicked

Huh… they must have turned black again "Oh these?" I say laughing manically as I use my free hand to gesture to my eyes "this is what happens when you make me angry!" I glower at him "Listen here Natsu." I sneer his name "If you ever call me that degrading name again, I'll kill you. I'll rip your heart out with my bear hands and tear you apart limb from limb, if you ever utter my name again. "The only reason your traitorous ass is still alive is because I have strict orders not to kill you yet. But you just wait Natsu Dragneel, one day we will face off and fight to the death and when that happens I'll make sure I'm standing on top of your headless corpse." I punch Natsu one more time before I throw him across the room into the wall. Then i dust off my hands and go to grab a crate full of jewel.

My ears twitch and I feel a disturbance in the air I whip around and catch the fire ball aimed for my head. "Cheap shot Natsu." I tut I glance at the orange fireball in my hand the size of a baseball "It's not even a real fire." I concentrate a bit of my magic energy on it, and everyone watches as it grows in size changing color, from orange, to blue, purple, then red, green, yellow, pink, black, then finally settling on my ghostly white color. "Takes notes, This is a real fireball." The fireball is the size of a basketball when I throw it at Natsu. Natsu tries to eat the fire, but surprise surprise My fire can't be eaten. The fire ball hits him dead in the chest, and I watch with a smirk as he crumbles to the ground screaming in agony. Music to my ears.

"Natsu!" wendy yells as she rushes over to the fire mages side

"Woah! when did lucy become such a power house?!" asks happy in befuddlement "i thought she was supposed to be the weakest link of team Natsu!" hearing happy utter those words fills me with rage and I try to reign it in i don't want to lose anymore control today.

"Obviously she's not the same girl she used to be!" carla shouts at Natsu like he's an idiot "She has to be strong is she'd hanging out with these guys!"

"Natsu are you okay?" Wendy asks with fear and worry in her voice

"Don't worry wendy I got this." Natsu says as he jumps back on his feet "it's gonna take a lot more than a fireball to keep me down"

As we circle each I asses my opponent, making sure to study his strengths and weaknesses and exploit them, that's what Mikhail taught me. Natsu is definitely strong I'll give him that. He survived my soulful fire which is a somewhat strong spell, but i wouldn't expect anything less from him, it'll take more than a premature fire to keep him down. Though he didn't make it back unscathed, his face is coated in a sheen of sweat and his breathing is labored, also he's favoring his left foot no doubt from when I threw him into the boxes then across the room. I'll wait and see what he throws my way before making my next strike, if I let him hit me then I'll be able to asses the amount of magic energy and stamina he has left and make my move from there adjusting my energy so that I can take him out in one go.

Natsu engulfs himself in flames and launches himself at me "Fire dragon's iron fist." ah so that's the way you want to go Natsu. a smirk plays on my lips and I adjust myself so that he hits me on the shoulder instead of in the face. I don't waste anytime as I connect with his soul and siphon some of his energy careful not to drain him dry. Natsu wobbles on his feet, feeling the drop in his energy reserve and scrambles away from me in alarm waiting for my next move. With him so weak knocking him out will be a walk in the park I don't bother with magic I just hit natsu with a one two combination and watch as he falls to the ground out for the count. 1- Lucy 0-Natsu

I look at wendy's stricken face as she sees Natsu fall to the ground "Natsu!" she rushes over to his side and begins to heal him "Why are you doing this Lucy?!" she shouts at me with tears in her eyes "what happened to you? Why are you so mean?"

I cock my head to the side and contemplate her question for a second "Why don't you ask Team Natsu what happened." I tell her

"There is no team Natsu!" she snaps " they broke up after your death." he lip curls when she says death like the thought disgusts her.

"Well thats just too bad." I say "i was hopping to have a little fun with them before the operation goes under way." that just sucks "Oh well." I sigh as I shrug "Looks like I'll have to have you deliver a message instead."

"What if I don't want to?" Wendy lifts her chin up to me in defiance, what happened to the timid little girl I used to know a year ago

"Well then you won't be of use to me." I say as I take a menacing step forward "all I'll have to give you the same treatment I gave Natsu." to drive my point home I raise a flaming fist of black fire.

Wendy releases a defeated sigh and slumps over "what's the message?"

I knew she would make the right choice, with a devilish grin I relay my message "Tell the guild that Lucy's back, and her family is the five soldiers of purgatory, now."

I can see wendy's visible gulp as she nods her head "Got it." she says determinedly "I won't forget a word."

With that done I signal for the boys to grab a crate of jewel and head out "Now if you'll excuse me." I say on my way out "we have a man named Mr. Hawthorne to visit. His soul is in need of some serious judgement." then with a snap of my fingers I along with the rest of the jewel disappear.

Well there was that. Hope you enjoyed this little chapter. Chapter three will be here friday (hopefully). Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week and I'll have my fingers crossed for snow, (who wants to cross their fingers with me?)

Byee, see you all soon
