Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
Sting stared at the celestial Mage curled up in his bed with Fro and and Lector. 'She looks so peaceful' he thought as he absent mindedly played with with her hair 'Like an angel' he thought 'so free and happy'
"YOU LIIIIKE HER!" Lector announced, snapping Sting out of his thoughts
"N-No I don't." Sting stuttered
"Then why are you staring at her sleeping, like some creeper?" Lector smirked at Sting
"Because I'm trying to decide on the best way to wake her up, a way that won't get me kicked into a wall." which wasn't totally a lie Sting, in fact came up there to wake her up he just got a little… distracted
"Lector smirked some more "Sure you were."
"Oi Blondie! Get up we're going on a mission!" Sting yelled at the blonde, whom was still sleeping peacefully in his bed
Lucy woke up with a murderous aura around her, and she glared at Sting "WHO TOLD YOU IT WAS OKAY TO WAKE ME UP AT FIVE O FUCKING CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING!"
Sting gulped, he never knew the Blonde celestial Mage could be so scary. 'She may be even scarier than Minerva' he thought as he stared at Lucy as she slowly approached him with a raised fist, and a look that would make even the fiercest monster cower in fear "Lucy didn't you hear. We're going on a mission!" Lector said trying to distract Lucy, so she wouldn't hurt Sting
"SHUT UP CAT!" Lucy yelled as she Lucy Kicked Sting into the wall. Then she stomped towards the bathroom and slammed the door. Everyone glanced at Frosch whom was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, wondering how on earth he could have possibly slept through that
Rouge sat there leaning against the doorway "Did you honestly think that, Yelling at five o'clock in the morning was the best way to wake her up?" he asked, while trying to hide his smirk 'I won the bet!' the Shadow dragon slayer thought happiliy and he turned around and went back down stairs
"Damn it!" Sting cursed "Now I own him 500 jewel."
Back at fairy tail
After Natsu's plan was vetoed by pretty much everyone, for obvious reasons. He went to the bar to pick a fight with gray.
"Hey, Ice Princess, put some clothes on!" he yelled at gray
"You wanna go, you stupid pyro!" Gray yelled back
Natsu answered by punching gray with one of his flaming fists
"Ice make-" Gray was cut off by Erza punching him in the gut
"You two aren't fighting are you?" she said with her arms crossed
"No" the two chorused in unison as they wrapped their arms around each other and plastered fake smiles on their faces
"Good ,because I'm gonna need you two to work together if we want to get Lucy back."
Natsu looked confused 'Erza breaking the rules he thought…surely this has to be some trick ' "But Master said-."
"I don't trust that those Sabertooth guys will return Lucy on their own, so it's time we take matters into our own hands."
"Now we're talking." said Natsu as he raised a flaming fist and smiled at Erza
"Yeah! Let's get Lucy back." chimed in Gray
at the train station in crocus
Lucy and Rogue were both reading books on the train, while Sting just sat there and complained about having to bring a stupid fairy on one of his missions. Lucy thought for a minute.
"Wait… wouldn't kidnapping me and taking me on your mission make your guild master angry?" she asked
Sting looked offended that she would even ask such a question "I AM THE GUILD MASTER!" he yelled outraged
"Well you don't act like one." she replied as she turned a page in her book
"Well then how do I act?" he asked with a glare
The blonde contemplated for a minute "Childish...kind of like Natsu except your a little more…" Lucy thought for a minute searching for the right word "intense?" she said the word like it was a question, then shook her head "I don't know… you just don't act like a guild master." was all she could say
Sting glared some more "Don't compare me to hi-."the blue eyed blond was interrupted by the sound of his stomach "I d-don't feel too well." was all he managed to get out before he collapsed onto Lucy's lap
"Sting! Sting get up!" The celestial mage tried to move the boy off her lap but he was too heavy
'Lucy's lap is really soft' was all Sting thought before he blacked out
Lucy sighed and glanced over at Rouge who seemed to be having trouble with his motion sickness as well. 'Great!' Lucy thought sarcastically
When the train ride was over Sting and rouge we both re energized and happy once they set foot on land. Sting even kissed the ground because he was so happy to be off that death machine they call a train. 'I'm surrounded by idiots!' Lucy thought in amusement as she watched the two boys make fools of themselves. Soon after the group started their journey to the Jeshi estate, so they could officially accept their mission and receive more info.
When they got to the Jeshi estate they were greeted by what seemed to be the Jeshi's butler "Good afternoon are you the mages from sabertooth."
"Yup." was all Sting answered as they showed the man their guild marks.
"Hmmm. " was all the Man said as he stared at Lucy's hand "You're not form Sabertooth… You're from Fairy Tail.. Master specifically asked for Sabertooth Mages. SO what is this little pest doing here?" he said disdainfully
Lucy was about to tell that rude man off when sting interrupted "LOOK!" he said forcefully "THIS FAIRY IS WITH US FOR THE TIME BEING, SO YOU CAN EITHER ACCEPT ALL OF US OR NONE OF US, BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO THIS MISSION WITHOUT HER. GOT IT." When Sting finished he wanted to slap himself in the face. 'What the hell am I doing?' he thought frustratedly 'Sticking up for a fairy! What tiger in their right mind would do some type of shit like that? This fairy is turning me soft.' he angrily thought as he glared at Lucy. Sting then glared at Rouge when he saw that the shadow dragon slayer was smirking at him.
The man gulped in fear and seemed to cower before Sting "Yes sir." he said in a small voice, then he turned around and led the three mages into the mansion
Lucy Just stared at sting in amazement, she never thought that the Blonde would ever do something like that, in a million years … Maybe she judged him wrong
"Oi Blondie! Hurry up you're slowing us down!" he called to her
"I hope you know that you're blonde too!" she yelled at him as she rushed to catch up with him
Sting smirked at the girl "She's one of a kind' he thought "Man I really want to-. This time the dragon slayer really did slap himself in the face 'Stop thinking those thoughts Sting!' he chastised himself
Everyone stared at the blue eyed blonde in bewilderment as he slapped himself in the face 'He's weird!' thought Lucy 'But he's kind of cute too...would being his mate be that bad?' with those thoughts, Lucy almost slapped herself in the face too 'OF COURSE it would be that bad! Being stuck with STING forever, would be the worst type of punishment in the world… Besides you kind of have the crush on Natsu, that you don't want to admit to anyways. A traitorous voice whispered in her head. All of Lucy's blood rushed to her face and it got red 'Shut up!' Lucy yelled at the voice. Lucy shook her head to clear all thoughts of Natsu and Sting.
Sting watched the Blonde from the corner of his eye, as they made their way to the Office inside of the mansion. 'What's she thinking about?' he wondered as he saw her face get red, and then watched as she shook her head, in attempt to clear whatever scandalous thoughts were racing through her head. 'Probably thinking of Natsu.' Sting snorted at that. It was quite obvious that the Blonde had a crush on her partner especially when she was drunk. Sting couldn't help but feel a little envious of the dense idiot 'Why can't she have a crush on me instead! I would be way better than Salamander-. WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING! He nearly shouted out loud 'Why the fuck would I ever want that blonde to have a crush on me, I don't even like her. 'Yes you do.' that voice was back again 'we all know that was the real reason why you marked the girl…you wanted a shot at making her fall in love with you!' 'Shut up!' sting told the voice in his head. Then he started to laugh 'look at me!' he thought bitterly 'I'm Arguing with myself over a fairy… I must be insane… no more like pathetic.'
Again every watched the Strange boy in bewilderment as he laughed his head off. Lucy Glanced at Rouge and raised her eyebrow in question and the Shadow dragon slayer just shrugged, 'I'm in the same boat as you.'he seemed to say. Finally they all made it to the Jeshi's office where they met with Mr. William Jeshi himself
"Good Morning." the mayor of Livelyville greeted everyone "We've been having a bit of a monster problem,lately." he stated "townspeople believe that they spotted the monsters flying around, the mountains at night, and they believe that's where the monsters have been taking the people that they snatched up to."
Wow he's blunt Lucy thought as Sting said "Yeah... you want us to kill the monsters, and rescue the people. Right?"
"Yes and no." the Man said as he folded his hands and rested his elbows on the table "I want you to kill most of them except one. There is a certain Monster I would Like for the three of you to capture for me, and the people well… let's just say you don't need to worry about them. okay?"
Lucy was shocked that the man didn't want his own people rescued "what type of mayor doesn't want the people of his town back?' she thought confusedly and outraged
Rouge ignored the comment about the people he would've rescued them if he saw them anyways "And which monster would you like us to capture?" he asked disinterestedly
"Why the mother of course!" the man said this like it was the most obvious answer in the world
"Okay!" said Sting, who was ready to leave and showed this, as he launched himself from the chair and grabbed Lucy's hand to drag her out the door with him
"Wait a minute!" Lucy cried as she snatched her hand from Sting's iron grip "Why would you want to capture the mother.. Shouldn't you want to kill it… I mean all it's going to do is create more monsters right?" Something seemed off about that man but Lucy couldn't quite put her finger on it
Mr. Jeshi glared at Lucy "I'm the mayor of this town little missy and I think I know what's best! And for 5,000,000 Jewel I think you should agree with me."
Sting gave Lucy a look that said you better shut up "You're right Mr. Jeshi.. I apologize for overstepping my boundaries." Lucy bowed her head in fake submission and walked off with the boys a little pissed off
"Did that guy seem a bit off to you?" she asked them when they had exited the grounds of the Jeshi estate
"Yeah." agreed Sting
"Something didn't add up with that guy." Rouge agreed
"Fro thinks so too." the cute little exceed decided to throw in his two cents as well
"But that's not our problem … we came here for the job request and the job request only the rest isn't our problem." said Sting as he walked through the front gate
Lucy stared at the boys in horror "What about the people of this town… what if that man decides to do something horrible to them…. What if he was the one snatching them and not the monsters?" Lucy asked in horror as well
"That's not our problem... unless there's another request to fix it." answered Rouge
"Yeah blondie you can't fix the world." Sting said as he patted her head
Lucy swatted Sting's hand away 'What was up with him being all touchy feely lately?' she thought in annoyance.
As the gang made their way to the mountains, Lucy got tired of walking and summoned Horologium, so she could continue trekking up the mountain, to the Monster's nest. 'You know now that I think about it... he never even told us what type of monsters they were.' she thought "I wonder what they could be.' the blond conjured up several monsters in her head, in an attempt to prepare herself for the worst.
"What the heck Lucy! Why are you in that hunk of junk?" Sting practically shouted
"He watch it ,with the insults blondie, before I pound your face in! She shrieks" Horologium said
"Fro wants to know what it's like in there?" asked Frosch
"You can come in if you want. She says" the celestial spirit relayed Lucy's message to the cute exceed
"I want to get in too!" Sting whines
"Well too bad you twit there isn't enough space. She yells" Horologium stated for Lucy
Lucy opened up the door for Fro to get in and he curled up in her lap as they trekked up the mountains. A few minutes Later they approached a cave, which they presumed to be the monster's nest, so Lucy sent her celestial spirit back.
"Alright!" she shouted "Let's pound these monsters to bloody pulps." 'Man I've been spending way too much time with Natsu' she thought as they entered the cave. Before they could even step foot in the cave a loud hiss was heard from above and a drop of acid came from nowhere. Lucy barely had time to jump out the way before a giant, ugly, bald, gray thing, with wings came swooping down. It was like a bat mixed with a human, and it had two different colored eyes only one eye was red while the other was a vibrant green.
"What the fuck is that?!" shouted Rouge
Sting charged at it the weird giant Bat thing "White dragon's claw!" he shouted as he slashed the thing. The weird bat creature let out a sound that was a mix between a shriek and a wail, (all I can say is it definitely didn't sound human.) its eyes began to glow, and the ground began to shake, and it slightly threw the mages off balance. Sting charged at the thing again and hit it with a white dragon's roar. Soon after that the thing's hands started to violently shake and it's fingers turned into vicious looking blades. The Bat-man-thing started to swipe at Sting in rage, and when he managed to dodge all of it's attacks, the creature gave off another inhuman shriek flew up into the air.
The creature then decided to spit acid at him, but much to its dismay Sting managed to evade some of the acid, but not all of it and it burnt what little clothes he had on. Soon after that two more dropped from the ceiling, so Lucy summoned Loke, and began to fight off the one closest to her, while Rouge used his shadow dragon's roar on the one closest to him. The four mages tried their best to fend off the crazed creatures giving and receiving attacks, but it seemed as if two more creatures would appear whenever they defeated one. They soon found themselves surrounded, fighting back to back when Lucy decided to perform Urano Metria, and the boys decided to perform a Unison raid, they timed their attacks perfectly, and ended up wiping out most of the nest. All the babies had been killed, but an angry and heartbroken mother was all that was left. The three Mages were spent by the time the mother made its appearance with a hiss and a shriek that put its babies shrieks to shame.
"Shit." complained Sting "That thing is gonna bust my ear drum."
Sting launched himself at the thing and used his white dragons holy breath, While Rouge used his shadow dragon's waxwing flash. Lucy slashed at the Bat-mother with her whip, while Loke used Lion brilliance. And somehow they all managed to attack the mother at the same time, all of them in perfect sync. The Bat-mother- creature-thing, then spread it wings and flew upwards. Its eyes began to glow, it shrieked once more, and the ground began to shake thus causing the mages to fall and tumble into each other. The Mother then changed its hands into vicious looking claws and dived down to slash at its opponents. It's hands were a blur as it slashed and clawed the mages, at an alarmingly fast rate. It tore at their clothing and clawed their skin in a blind rage. Loke was hit pretty bad and ended up vanishing into the spirit world because he was so badly damaged. Sting and Rogue managed to dodge most of the mothers attacks, but Lucy had a direct hit to her chest and passed out due to the pain.
"LUCY!" Sting shouted in worry as he glanced over at the fallen mage, leaving himself open enough for the mother to get a nice hit in. Sting flew into the far wall of the cave and hit his head "Ouch!" he said as he touched the back of his head. When he looked at his fingers and saw blood he growled "This just got personal!" Sting and Rogue then used dragon force and attacked the beast with all they had, landing kicks, hits and punches wherever they saw openings. By the time the two were finished they were breathing heavy and the Monster was passed out in the corner of the cave, a beaten and bloody heap.
"Are you sure it's a good Idea to hand this monster over to the man… I mean it seems pretty dangerous?" Rouge asked Sting
"Not our problem." was all Sting replied as he tied the monster up with rope "Now help me carry this thing, so we can go get our money." Sting started to drag the thing over to the cave's entrance when Rouge finally decided to help
"Frosch get Lucy." The Shadow dragon slayer wasn't that surprised when he glanced over and saw that his Green companion was already carrying Lucy and waiting by the cave's entrance.
They were a good ways down the mountain when Fro finally decided to speak up "Guys Fro thinks that Lu-chan is worse than she seems." he said with tears in his eyes "Lu-chan feels really warm and isn't breathing very well."
Sting swore under his breath and Lector began to worry too "Will she be okay… Sting please tell me she's gonna be okay."
Sting didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to say... Lucy's condition wasn't too good, and he could hear her heart rate starting to slow down, which was definitely not a good sign. By now Sting was barely masking his own panic, and they expected him to calm them down. Sting began to sweat 'shit' he thought 'this situation couldn't be any worse.''
Just then Rouge interrupted "It's okay Fro." he said trying to calm the exceeds down "We're gonna get Lucy some help when we get into town. Okay?." he said in a soothing voice
